THE MIRACLE ON GEORGE GREEN tells a collective social history of the UK tradition of the commons—land collectively owned and used to gather, play, and debate. The film centers on the George Green treehouse in East London, where a beloved chestnut tree sparked a letter-writing campaign to save it from destruction. From this story, artist Onyeka Igwe expands outward through archival materials from other collective sites, connecting the Diggers of the seventeenth century, Greenham Common antiwar protests, squatting communities, outdoor raves, and other histories of communal resistance and gathering.
