Description

This is the story of Charlie Phillips, a photographer who documented the social implications of immigration in the 1950s and 1960s in Notting Hill. Charlie has experienced much ignorance with regards to the importance of his work. The working class seems to be excluded from the art world. In discussion with Benjamin Zephaniah and the curator of the Museum of London, they get to the bottom of that issue. Rootical was the winner of the Portobello Film Festival for Best First Film (2006). The film features a discussion with Charlie Phillips and the film director Nike Hatzidimou about his life experiences and photography, a presentation of his work and a Q&A session with the audience.
