A WORLD IN A SUITCASE

Films

Church Street Market Traders - Worlds Within A World

Sometimes we need to see and hear people's stories to feel empathy for their struggles and share in their happy experiences in order to gain insight into their world. Our films aim to shed light on communities rarely seen on film and create common threads between them and us.
We are currently making a film about three generations of Black Britishers seen through eyes of seven families, starting with the Windrush generation. The film has had a  Premiere at The Lexi Cinema on 13th October 2018 but we are doing some final bit of editing and it should be available May 2019 onwards.
