If the Streets Were on Fire

Pretty sure someone posted about this, but canny find it. Anyhoo, worth sharing again...

If the Streets Were on Fire
This is London from an exhilarating, rarely seen perspective. With knife violence rising, social activist Mac creates BikeStormz, a movement for kids across the city to express themselves beyond any threats of violence.

Groups of young people glide through the capital on their bikes, doing wheelies, tricks and death-defying acrobatics, but as they come together and find ways to express themselves through biking - the kind of liberation that surfers and skateboarders eulogise - they are challenged with the threat of arrest by the police and accusations of antisocial behaviour.

It's a good one, innit?

I love the Storyville documentary series: Worth the license fee alone IMO. I've watched '8 Bar' this week, and currently have 'A Bunch of Amateurs' playing, which is hilarious (Edit: and a bit of tearjerker at times).
