London’s Notting Hill Carnival is coming under increasing pressure and attacks from the British press, politicians, police and local residents who consider it an event of a conflict. “Arts of Conflict” is the story of the controversial event, from its birth out of the 1950s London race riots, to its present-day controversies that see it perceived as a Carnival of violence, the film focuses on its arts and the dark past from which it emerged, and seeks to open up the discourse into Carnival’s significance and meaning.
