Description

Oni Bhattacharya reports on the 1989 Notting Hill Carnival. A row has erupted between the current organisers (CEC) and the former committee (CAC), with the CEC anxious to prove they can provide a bigger and better organised carnival with a new emphasis on profits, while critics say it has been taken over by the funding bodies and the police. Includes interviews with Claire Holder, Carnival Enterprise Company; Frank Crichlow, Mangrove Association; Lee Jasper, CAC; Chief Superintendent Clive Pearman.
