The Movie "Lost Stadiums: West Ham Speedway" is now available to watch on demand on Amazon Prime 🎥

We are also entering the movie to a wide variety of film festivals and will continue working on plans for more public screenings and to take the movie to other digital platforms. For the time being, it's available to rent on Amazon.

We'd like to let you all know that none of the members involved with the project are making a profit out of the rental fee and all money raised through it is going back to RDLAC, helping us to continue organise and supports a number of vital activities and outreach work in the Royal Docks area, from food banks, to community events, local festivals and heritage projects like this.

By renting this movie, you will hopefully have a good time...and you are helping do more good things locally.
