To raise awareness and challenge the mainstream rhetoric by examining the experience, reality and issues of migration in Brexit Britain.
'Stories Untold' is a collection of short films that will speak to London migrants from all different social, political and economic backgrounds and ask them to tell us their story with their own words.
In our ever politically unhinged world we chat, moan, groan and celebrate our lives with likeminded people. People who have lived similar lives and share similar ambitions, successes and adversities. It seems that talking to people with the same views, and similar stories to our own, gives us the self-validation in today's world.
But, in a post-Brexit Britain, we think it's imperative that we start to share stories outside of our own bubbles. We want to remind people that whoever we are, wherever we've come from, we are all navigating the world and trying to get by as best we can. We are all human.
We hope to make a series 6 documentary style short films that present a varied selection of migrants telling a mix of stories on screen.
We will aim to share these stories far and wide, screening them in schools, businesses and both national and international festivals.
Let's pop some bubbles!
