MCP created a short documentary and photographic portraits of themselves in the Mile End area addressing stereotypes and using quotes from the film to express their views to those who may judge based on common misconceptions. The 2011 London riots reinforced the perception society holds towards young “hooded” men. The project aims to dispel these common myths of “hoodie” culture and create a meaningful dialogue between all members of the community.
