Roa's Big Bird on Hanbury Street, Brick Lane, London

A bird is a creature of flight. It can symbolise freedom. Belgium artist Roa came to Shoreditch, an inner city area of London, which has been home to waves of immigrants over the years, and painted an astonishing bird in about 8 hours in April of 2010. Six Oranges filmed this feat as part of their documentary on Brick Lane and art. This short film is a teaser for that documentary.
