History of East London Documentary - Jack Spot, the Krays, Battle of Cable Street

This is a short silent documentary that I filmed, directed & edited back in 2015. The reason that I chose not to make it public back then was that in September of that year the feature film 'Legend' was released & suddenly it seemed like everyone was posting videos about East London gangsters. All of my documentary projects are made as silent but with descriptive text.

Who would have thought that over 50yrs later, The Kray Twins and the Blind Beggar and Pellicis would still be relevant and talked about.. The Krays tale will still be told in another 50yrs

The new Myrdle Street gagter that lives in fieldgate mansions is a bengi bloke called Kala Zak.

Hi Bert, That is 'Brilliant' I bet you've got a really fascinating family history there. I always love talking to genuine people, like yourself, who've got the family background. Thank you for your comment. Best wishes, Ian.
