Watch on MUBI

Synopsis

Blight is a collaboration between filmmaker John Smith and composer Jocelyn Pook. It revolves around the building of the M11 Link Road in London, which provoked a long campaign by local residents to protect their homes from demolition.

MUBI's take

As homes are razed to the ground, a mural for The Exorcist is revealed amid the ruins. In John Smith’s Blight, horror hangs over these images of gentrification, and the destruction of a community is loudly lamented in a moving, discordant composition by Stanley Kubrick collaborator Jocelyn Pook.
