Fresh Air

Chloe White, 2011 | Metropolis TV (United Kingdom)

Smoking a cigarette is one thing, but in the Square Mile - one of the worrld's leading financial centres with one of England's highest levels of smoking - taking a cigarette break is quite another. A cigarette break is a patch of time that straddles work and play, for some it's (ironically) a breath of fresh air; a time to think and reflect, for others an escape. Through interviews with various city workers on their breaks, the film throws light on what really goes on during this brief, but crucial part to so many people's day. Within this exploration, Fresh Air provides a unique illustration of the City and some of the thousands of people that work there each day. : vimeo-link
