Nubia Way is an unassuming cul-de-sac of thirteen timber framed houses built by Fusions Jameen, London’s first black housing co-operative, on a narrow site in Downham, Lewisham in the late 1990s. The documentary celebrates the legacy of Nubia Way and examines self-building as an act of resistance against the housing discrimination faced by Black British Communities.
