Battle of Cable Street

Synopsis: Blurring the line between live action and animation, this is a remarkable re-telling of a seminal event in Anglo-Jewish history. A young boy is taken inside the magical world of his own sketchbook by his grandfather, and shown what it was like when Oswald Mosley’s ‘black shirt fascists’ attempted to march through the East End.
