Working with Middlesbrough Poet Bob Beagrie, Filmmaker Rob Heselton creates a short visually driven experimental artist film that centres around Bob’s poetic writing. The film covers the recent events that took place in Middlesbrough town centre, in which a race riot broke out leaving parts of the town in ruin. Despite this great issue the town faced, the very next day the communities within it came together and cleaned up the town in a show of mass solidarity in the face of adversity. This short surrealist film is created to tell the story through strong black and white visuals and well performed poetry.
