Scope and content

Stop motion animated film

Artist's statement: 'To quote Akala who narrates the film, coming to terms with Britain's imperial past "has come to be a part of any understanding of the contradictions of contemporary UK politics". Empire is greatly linked to our history of immigration. The film draws the link between Brexit, Empire and the question of Britishness through the story of immigrants who have come to Britain from past to present. Every scene is a stop motion painting.'
