About This Movie

So, 'Blight' is this short documentary that really digs into the human stories behind the M11 Link Road construction in East London. You hear these personal accounts from people whose lives were interrupted, their homes torn down. The combination of their voices with the gritty sounds of demolition creates a haunting atmosphere. It doesn’t shy away from the rawness of the situation. The pacing feels deliberate, letting you sit with the weight of their experiences. What’s striking is how it captures this moment in time, as if the city’s pulse can be felt through every scene. There’s no flashy editing or narration—just reality laid bare, which makes it stand out in the documentary genre.
