This film opened up London in new ways - pavements, spaces, estates, guarding became inflected with a poignancy of perspectives into unseen lives and longings, of parallel needs for freedom, justice and understanding. Full of compassion and a desire to expand and extend awareness into how power and prejudice continue to operate and be missed and misunderstand by main stream narratives. Through closeness with characters I found myself moved - prized open, the films fullness (shots, music, editing, overall construction) bringing light and insight to the layers and complexities of lived lives , sore hearts and human connection . Thank you .
