The Frontline: All Saints Rd, Notting Hill, London, UK - 1989

Wicked documentary following a day in the life of Sister Netifa - who ran a Rastafarian cultural shop called 'Uprising Culture House' on the 'Frontline' area of All Saint's Road, in Notting Hill, London - filmed in 1989............
All Saints Road was a meeting place for Black youth - with various business catering to the Notting Hill & Ladbroke Grove's Afro-Caribbean community and was also home to the famous Mangrove Restaurant - owned by Frank Critchlow (RIP)... but sadly through a policy of Police pressure and gentrification All Saints Rd's Black businesses have all vanished - with only one Reggae music shop called 'People's Sound Record Shop' started by the late Daddy Vigo (RIP) - still open on that road...........
This documentary shows first hand the heavy policing in All Saint's Rd in 1989 and the tensions it caused with the Black community...........
