Jakomäki Top
Rapidly built between the years 1967-69, Jakomäki is a suburb of Helsinki, which has an unfavourable reputation. Currently, about 6 000 people live in the suburb, which through the years has become famous for its rockabilly bands and gang fights. In popular lore, Jakomäki is associated with urban squalor and crime. But how do the residents of Jakomäki view themselves? This is the subject of this documentary film.
