Aylesbury Estate, one of London’s biggest public housing estates, was built in the 1960’s over the ruins of the older council houses in South-East London and is now going through another major change. Carlotta Berti offers an intimate and deep portrait of a resistant community, showing from within the struggle that residents are fighting to defend their houses from property speculation.
