Dear Babylon

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Babylon' is this raw documentary that dives deep into the social housing crisis, specifically through the lens of the AC30 Housing Bill. It’s set in the East End of London, and you can really feel the grit and determination of the three art students at its heart. They're not just filming; they're tapping into the stories of the tenants and the workers there, giving a voice to those often overlooked. The pacing feels intentional, slow and reflective, which lets you soak in the atmosphere. It’s this blend of activism and artistry that makes it stand out. The practical effects are minimal since it’s all real-life footage, but that makes the emotional weight feel heavier, you know?
