Teachers and pupils at the Seven Mills primary school are on a mission to bring the history of London's financial district to life. They've been challenged to put together a film, telling the story of the people of the Isle of Dogs. Most people are unaware that nestled in amongst the impressive buildings of the city, there's a community that's been there for generations, depending on the docks and the river for their livelihoods. In 1986 the Island History Trust was set up, and now this hidden gem of an archive has 5,000 photographs documenting the changing face of the docklands and its people. Teacher Mike Grocott has been at Seven Mills school for 25 years. A keen amateur filmmaker, he's captured many of the key events in the school's history. This time he's teaming up with colleagues Anthony Sharp and Ashley Quayle, and six pupils in their final year at the school. They have two weeks to put together a film for a special screening, to which everybody in the community has been invited.
