The Battle for Barking

"Battle for Barking" explores the run up to the 2010 General Election in Barking, a former stronghold for the fiercely conservative British National Party headed by Nick Griffin. Filmed throughout the course of a year, the film offers an inside look into the constituency at the heart of this battleground, as older white residents of Barking face the changes brought on by a new flux of immigration. Humorously filled with the voices of residents and candidates alike, Battle for Barking" places a human touch on a heated political debate.
