Abstract
This concluding chapter considers the film London River (2009), which tells a specifically London-based story that addresses racialized forms of strife under the banner of “The War on Terror,” but also evokes traces of other cities and other histories. London River provides a comparative lens for thinking about the migratory history of Paris in relation to the racialized sentiments and subsequent politics affiliated with the city of London. The combination of the two results in an altered presentation of both “village” and “inhospitable” London and longstanding London imaginaries become global in their scope. The chapter ultimately develops parallel interrogations of what constitutes the “global” in the global cinematic city and “the world” in critical accounts of world cinema.
