How much of our history do we carry with us? From the fields, across the waters and onto the roads. Riots become riots, rallies become tweets. This is the life. This repeats itself. Taking up historical and contemporary texts, presenting them in 2021, this film asks how much of the past remains in our present.

A short film built off the backs of 5 powerful voices, all echoing 1 unified message... Britain isn't exempt

Uncovering texts from throughout history and the present day and presenting them for 2021, these films ask how much of the past remains in our present.

CHILDREN'S CHILDREN - a short film, curated by Amber James, exploring the interaction of past with the present, and celebrating Black history. Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu and Rikki Beadle-Blair direct five pieces performed by Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Amber James, Kayla Meikle, Khai Shaw, and Sule Rimi.

The film rediscovers the voices of black activists, poets, artists and real working people, across a period of more than a century. We conclude in the modern day after hearing from Sojourner Truth, Una Marson, Stanley Crooke, Desmond Pierre and Still Shadey.

Quanto della nostra storia ci portiamo dietro? Dai campi, attraverso le acque e sulle strade. Le rivolte diventano sommosse, i comizi diventano tweet. Questa è la vita. Questo si ripete. Riprendendo testi storici e contemporanei, presentandoli nel 2021, questo film si chiede quanto del passato rimane nel nostro presente.
