The film follows the community who found themselves at the epicentre of the tragic events, and is based on interviews conducted with the road's real residents. Using their own words set to an innovative musical score, London Road tells a moving story of ordinary people coming together during the darkest of experiences.
What starts out like a documentary soon morphs into something quite odd but strangely compelling, a social commentary of sorts about everyday people confronting a shocking and monstrous reality close to home.
This is not a conventional docudramoada but one that anyone that loves the variety of film genres (AKA: film nut) should do themselves a favor and see "London Road."
It's an experiment you're unlikely to see the likes of again, and a surprisingly upbeat take on a terrible tale, sweetening the despair without diminishing its power.
