Notting Hill Carnival: What it means for community and culture

Of the many, many films of NHC on YouTube, this one stands out. There is no simpering, cheek-kissing or screaming 'Babe!!!' here. We see the giant street party presented as it is: ladies showing off their gaudy costumes, people of different ethnicities having fun in the drizzly grey London streets.

The Lens presenter is dispassionate, objective and lets the interviewees speak for themselves.

It's interesting to learn about what the festival means to people and it seems the presenter is having good fun with the camera crew as well as on the streets with passers by. I liked when she was walking down the road and people joined in to celebrate with her - very funny! I'd like to see more from The Lens!
