Rest in Peace Des Maddon 13/01/48 - 13/02/16

It's with great sadness that we announce that Des Madden has passed away. Des had been a key inspiration for this project from fixing and helping out with tasks to giving sound advice when dealing with the bullying management at Brixton Green.
Des led an alternative life away from the mainstream and contributed a great amount to Brixton.
He never compromised on his principles and was a solid character.
This short film documents Des's life as a Squatter in Brixton, and this was something he stayed true too up to his death.
