Boiling Point: Part Two

JasonNParkinson
On Saturday 27 December 2008 Israel launched an unprecedented attack into the Gaza Strip. In London protestors took to the streets en-mass, in their thousands. There the anger and outrage manifested themselves in Kensington, the home of the Israeli embassy.

Part Two covers the march of thousands on the Israeli embassy in Kensington from Hyde Park. The footage tells the rest of the story from the day that peaceful protest deteriorated into three-hour running street battles.

Boiling Point is not so much a fully narrated film piece, more of a visual account of what happened between Saturday 3 January and Sunday 11 January, allowing the footage of those days to do the storytelling. Constructed from nearly ten hours of footage shot over four days on two cameras, hopefully it gives the viewer an idea of what really happens down on the front line of a riot situation.
