Thank you Micha. Thank you Brixton Soup Kitchen. Despite my son being a victim of the culture. People like you and BSK still make me proud to be of Brixton 🖤👊🏾
Finally, it's a community-driven documentary about Brixton instead of the usual ones we see, e.g. gang violence, etc. This was done really well. Long live Brixton Kitchen
I grew up in Brixton in the 70's 80's onwards, and still tell people who ask that I'm from Brixton even though I've not lived there for at least 15 years, it will always be my home. The place has changed so much since my days there. But massive thanks to people like Micah who do what they do.
Thank you Micha . Your tour and stories of Brixton, And your soup kitchen is a blessing to the homeless your are a major help for the people of Brixton and London
powerful video watched from start to end big up micah how you broke everything down was proper and there was a lot of knowledge and wisdom in this episode and big up brixton soup kitchen every time keep doing what your doing. nuff love
These guys volunteering at the soup kitchen is what the media needs to show and the world needs to see - productive young Black men helping out their community and inspiring the world to make their community a better place. Thanks lads.
Tuning in from Jeju Island, South Korea. A very different playground to that of multicultural London. I miss that cultural diversity and the pace of all London. Thank you for sharing through your lens to the world stage. Amazing stories from some of the realest people of Brixton and London. Thank you to you all! That Micha is well connected! He’s doing good things! Humble to acknowledge his community and the people he helps. 👊 💥 👊 I lived in Stockwell and Clapham areas on the borders of Brixton for a while way back in the 90s. I knew Brixton very well. And I see that Brixton Academy! Memories! Good to see the grassroots initiatives helping in and around that area as best you all can. Keep it going! I’m looking up Brixton Soup Kitchen. Good things! We are a million miles away but united by the rhythm of life. 🙏 Update: you’re half British / Korean? I just watched ‘England Has Fallen’ where you state your cultural heritage! Hello from a fellow blended British / Korean family here in South Korea!
Great vid, important people actually show the community cause its the best thing about all these areas in London that have so much violence, its the unity and love that keeps people pushing.
This is amazing man! Powerful work as always! Gives me an insight to the reality on sights not seen before! Even the hood has got really helpful and friendly people man. Keep showing us these. The world needs to know so it can be fixed!✊🏾
I'm 50 now and was 8 when I moved on to fairbairn green myatts field estate and moved out when I was 32. Had the best time growing up living here it will always call Brixton home. Couldn't believe how much it changed when I went back to see a pal who still lives there. We t Stockwell park school and Slade green was our playground I remember Andy blonde haired guy used to run the place in and the ice 10p ice cup. 37:32 this was my old house block but the another side was knocked down . Great video
I just had to subscribe!! This was great content ! I see Brixton differently after watching this , a lot has changed. Micah and the resource team they are doing well for the community in Brixton. He needs to be nominated for an award for helping people in the community. It's not easy to give support to people in the community with limited resources . Nice on what the newspaper has done to help Micah with having a vehicle to compound in making waves in progress and continuous success in endeavours for the community, Love it 😎 🙏 "Micah and Company" keep doing what you're doing . Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 😎❤
I dont recognise Bricki anymore. I remember the Brixton riots clear as day, i used to go Burntwood school and my friend who lived there was stuck on the 133 bus watching it all. Got some of my best memories from Bricki x
A suggestion for you - at the start of the video, when you have the location come up on screen, also include the date you filmed it. Would be very interesting for historians of the future, because the date you upload/release may not be the same time that you filmed it. All the best.
Can’t say Londonis dangerous mate. I Australia we got real hoods where it really kicks off. I came to London as my miss family live there but it’s full of losers and weaklings
@@Jh19999 first explain to me why it became a shit-hole in the first place. U don't think racism, slavery, exploitation,, war, police injustice, school resource scarcity, in and out of council estates with mould and a landlord that dont give s sh*t , wars going on in home countries was part of that. Instead of building community infrastructures, youth clubs, football / sport cages, investing it back into the people , putting homeless people back on to their feet. translating talent to business. they'd rather make profit by demolishing and investing into new apartments and buildings ,overprice everything and then rent them to richer people.
I came from Paris to London 13 years ago with my 3 kids and Brixton is and allways be our home. We love it so much, we’ve been welcomed like nowhere else and we feel lucky to be part of this community. Big Big up to Soup Kitchen. 🙏🏽✨❤️
This is brilliant. My whole family’s from South, my mums side all from Moorland Road in Brixton. But I even learned a lot watching this. BIG UP the community leaders ❤
Divine Beloved Respect to Micah and organised resources in supporting its Communities,may his Divine Essence continue with other supporting associations.
Brilliant doco fabulous work from the Soup Kitchen l was a Brixtonite from the 60 s it always had a fantastic vibe so multicultural and so full of life force ,, l miss it to this day Acre lane, Brixton Market , Coldharbour lane, Brixton Town Hall,, etc etc Reggae Music everywhere Saturday night parties and so on WOW! Great memories l now live in Cairns Australia could not be more opposite, l miss Brixton so terribly much love to all the Brixtonites ,,Party on keep surviving ! Great doco❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
West Indians were invited and recruited to the UK after the war to fill the shortage of workers in the railways, NHS, London transport etc. The Jamaican influence in Brixton isn't what it was in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. They're now part of the ‘Windrush' history, with a square in Brixton being named Windrush Square in 1998, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush ship in 1948 on which the first set of Jamaicans and other Caribbeans arrived in London. Brixton has now become a trendy, gentrified area with many nationalities running bars, restaurants, etc. Small snippets of the Jamaican influence remain but for the most part, most of the early generation sold up their huge houses to yuppies in the 80s and 90s and moved on - either back to Jamaica, Caribbean or other areas. It’s now become very expensive to live in Brixton. Jamaicans have now become part of the history of Brixton. Now the black people in Brixton are mainly Africans. The original Jamaicans are no longer in the area, so all these reports do not relate to Jamaicans. They were in Brixton since the 1940s, 50s, etc but most have moved on and are now only part of the history of Brixton. Now you have to have money to buy a house in Brixton. Brixton is not a 'black' area. You all need to stop calling Brixton dangerous because that title was only placed on it because it was one of the first areas in London with blacks people. They worked hard to buy their homes but as soon as there are non-whites it becomes dangerous’. You need at least £1million to get a small house in Brixton. The Jamaicans owned the large houses over 70 years ago but they have moved on many decades ago so stop using Jamaicans and Brixton to spread lies about ‘dangerous’. Now Brixton is very gentrified - so stop perpetuating the lies and racist propaganda!
Very positive and humble guy and considering everything he's probably witnessed and had to endure over the year's, that in itself is an achievement. to still be so involved and inspired for positively and kindness. community in general has a back bone built like this fellow 👌 without it or people like him the people have absolutely nothing and nobody. he's proof we need eachother and have eachother god bless bro 👍💥💥💥
@@WesleyWinter.My bad bro I rushed over to the RUclips Brixton soup kitchen channel after leaving that comment and subscribed.. but I did just subscribe to you for bringing the awareness. so bless up my guy & nuff respect 🙏
Excellent work and congratulations. Every time I get to London I make sure to be there for the magnificent Brixton Market on daily but Saturday is my favourite day . Especially exploring the many international restaurant's and coffee shops. James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪 (Subscribed and liked)
Thank you AGAIN (genuinely) Wesley. You have been given a gift to documenting human BEINGS in horrific living situations that non one gives a fuck about as profit free. Glad you keep improving that great and rare skill (humanity, genuine neutrality, understandings, etc.) through reporting measurable facts (as opposed to opinions) in society. Knowledge and understandings and daily & repetitive actions between beings will always unite.
I grew up in Clapham and Streatham. My sister bought a house in Brixton back in the 80s,in Rattray road. My Father a Doctor was mortified,but although my sister was attacked on her doorstep almost immediately after moving in Loved living in Brixton. Her home became our families meeting place.
It’s so good showing this; I never this side to south ldn areas. Everyone whose isn’t affected jt and or more affluent would be in similar environment but not of the working class community.
I played football in brixton back in 1996 with my african friends there! Played for a team called Accra (don’t know if they exist anymore)! I was very welcomed there! Good old days! Much love and respect from Brazil 🇧🇷!
Brixton has different sides to it, and how you get to experience it depends. Generally it's become gentrified over the years. Its still very lively, interesting people, great food, nice independent shops. Its still a nice vibe. Yes It has a deprived side too, but again..." deprived" also has spectrums. Despite some of its issues, I dont think you can call yourself a South Londoner and not know Brixton, or have some slight affection for the place😊
Thanks for the video Wesley and Micha, i enjoyed it. Respect from Melbourne Australia! PS one food you cannot get in Melbourne is jerk chicken! it hasn't even been heard of!
My father was born in Brixton it was very posh 97 yrs ago then in later life he brought a fish and chip shop I use to love going there shopping with my mum my aunt used live in Stockwell Avenue all her life what a change
I worked there as assistant manager in one is shop. Security next to door was must... Still stealing sometimes physical attacks were happening but otherwise I miss that place. A lot of lovely people from different cultures.
There used to be an amazing nightclub in Brixton called The Fridge which was big in the late 90s early 00s trance music heyday. I remember you could get in free if you brought a bongo drum 😁
Love Brixton, my youth was hanging around Acre Lane eating West Indian food and checking the many record shops there back in the day. Lovely multi racial community where people got on. It was fine if you were respectful and polite. Bottom line is don’t be a bell end and you won’t draw attention. Looks like it’s changed with gentrification for the worse though. All them hedge fund managers come in and contribute nothing to the community.
As someone who has lived in brixton for years and just moved from there…one thing I’ll say is brixton is STILL the same old brixton 😂….yes it’s been gentrified but the old essence is still there and it’s still dangerous especially night time!…you will be fine there generally but just need to stay alert and be wary!…brixton is a vibe and unlike any other place I’d definitely recommend going but just letting people know it ain’t all fairy lights and bubble gum vibes like social media shows you 😂
I'm a white British guy who understands what these guys are saying about being pushed out of Lambeth we have all been exploited by the rich. I also grew up in Brixton.
Brixton is well gentrified. Nothing like 30 years ago. You can find dangerous places in Kensington or westminister. Richest areas in the UK. Brixton is a place I would live in now in 2024 if I had to move to south of the river.
Dangerous? Brixton is trendy AF. Anyone can go there any time they want. Those young fools play the fool with one another and that’s it. Brixton is NICE. Why so much money is moving in.
@@ChosenWun180exactly. And going to any part of Brixton was Risky bk in da 80s ,90s and early 2000s. Mandem was robbing everything moving there was no cameras bk then.
I’m not even gonna bother watching this. I thought this would be an interesting documentary about the history, the culture and nightlife of Brixton. But yet again, another sensationalist, expose of knife crime and violence in Brixton. Yes, it has its areas that are extreme and you probably would not want to live in. But Brixton is a very big area. If you look on the map it’s split up into North South East and West. I’ve managed to live in Brixton for 40+ years seen. Most of the changes experienced a riot and now over the last 20+ years, it has very much been gentrified like any inner city area you apply with them to where you go. In my experience it’s no more dangerous than going to parts of Hackney, Houston, Haringey Southall. or some parts of New York.
Thank you Micha. Thank you Brixton Soup Kitchen. Despite my son being a victim of the culture. People like you and BSK still make me proud to be of Brixton 🖤👊🏾

Awesome place. I visited London frequently in the 90s, one the best clubs in London. There was also a wonderful small club, 414, is that gone too?
@@atomicmoog1219 Unfortunately that closed too. Most of the best clubs have closed now which is a shame.

Brixton is NICE. Why so much money is moving in.
It was better than I expected. Definitely not how it’s portrayed on the news. Good people too
That’s because it’s gentrified. You don’t go to the parts where he filmed which is why u think it’s safe. Pure ignorance
@@ChosenWun180exactly. And going to any part of Brixton was Risky bk in da 80s ,90s and early 2000s. Mandem was robbing everything moving there was no cameras bk then.
Exactly I was going to say. Brixton has been gentrified I grew up there and things started changing when they bought Costa and starbucks over

Ya dun know!!!
You met the perfect guy for the video
The guy prepping the food and opening bags with his teeth - hygiene certificate anyone?
I’m not even gonna bother watching this. I thought this would be an interesting documentary about the history, the culture and nightlife of Brixton. But yet again, another sensationalist, expose of knife crime and violence in Brixton. Yes, it has its areas that are extreme and you probably would not want to live in. But Brixton is a very big area. If you look on the map it’s split up into North South East and West. I’ve managed to live in Brixton for 40+ years seen. Most of the changes experienced a riot and now over the last 20+ years, it has very much been gentrified like any inner city area you apply with them to where you go. In my experience it’s no more dangerous than going to parts of Hackney, Houston, Haringey Southall. or some parts of New York.
You couldn’t be more wrong even watching the first 5 minutes you would know it’s not about that
when they kick at your front door, how you gonna come, with your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun. Ohhhh the guns of Brixton
