THE REPUBLIC
Director - Quincy Andrews
Camera - Leo Plunkett
Feature documentary about the extraordinary home of Banksy's Mild, Mild West: Stokes Croft, Bristol. Filmed over 6 years, currently screening across the UK.
In 1999, in his hometown of Bristol, Banksy painted one of his earliest pieces, ‘The Mild, Mild West’ on a wall in Stokes Croft.
The Republic documents the story of Stokes Croft, portraying a diverse community that dares to defy the cold winds of corporate power and globalisation. But their greatest challenge looms as developers target this quarter and ready their wrecking balls.
Filmed over six years, with access to twenty years of personal archives, this compelling story of our times recounts the fight by locals to retain some control over their destiny in an increasingly monocultural world.
