In 1935 Arthur Elton, Edgar Anstey, John Taylor and Ruby Grierson filmed
Housing Problems, sponsored by the British Commercial Gas Association, an attempt to tackle the problem of slums in the outskirts of East London, seen both from the perspective of experts of planning and architecture (from whom we hear only the voice) and slum-inhabitants, exposed to the camera via direct interviews.

This film must be shown to the government in order for them to give proper orders regarding the housing problems in East London.
Well, the point is also that government is not the only stakeholder involved...
