Over 2021-22 artist Edwin Mingard, researcher Keren Weitzberg and a network of people who've experienced the UK government's anti-migration policies came together to make a film. Told from many perspectives that illuminate the inhumanity of the UK border regime whilst shining a light and celebrating the diverse communities that constitute London.
Pouyan fled the regime in Iran and made the dangerous land and sea journey crossing to England. Usman spent 50 days in a detention centre and lived to tell the tale. An undocumented Londoner tells us why he moved and what it's like living under the radar.
Join us for the local premiere of this major new work in the heart of East London where the film was made.
