In the 30 years since the Broadwater Farm riots, Tottenham has seen more than its fair share of national headlines, from the missed child abuse scandals of Baby P and Victoria Climbie to the shooting of Mark Duggan and the 2011 summer riots. This candid film shines a spotlight on the lives of those who live in Tottenham today. Viewers are given a front-row seat to watch one of the country's busiest MP surgeries in action, with behind-the-scenes access to the fortnightly advice surgery run by Tottenham's local MP David Lammy. From wrongful arrests to parking problems and immigration issues to regeneration backlashes, this one-off film showcases the extraordinary spirit of Tottenham's ordinary residents. It's a long, long way from Westminster.
