Description	NOW FILMING: Art, Documentary and Resistance in 1930s East London explores the fascinating story of the Workers Film and Photo League (WFPL) The WFPL employed the camera as 'a weapon in the struggle' to represent working-class people’s lives and their campaigns against poverty, exploitation, and the rise of fascism. NOW FILMING focuses on this unexplored moment of cultural resistance during the social conflicts of 1930s Britain.
