Overview

Set on a single street in South London, Capital is a portrait of a road transformed by soaring property prices: what was once the home of modest lower-middle class families, Pepys Road has been continuously gentrified into a street of multimillion pound houses. On one day, the people of this South London street all receive an anonymous postcard with the simple message 'we want what you have'. Its unsettling ripples affect every corner of the community. Based on John Lanchester's bestseller and adapted by Peter Bowker.

Interviewees allude to unfunded and failed projects, as well as exploitation by scam artists, which Kundinger and Birkhofer should have investigated further.
