Blue Has No Borders + Q&A

Name: Blue Has No Borders + Q&A
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 1 h 24 min

Jessi moves to Folkestone's white cliffs, a Brexit-voting small town, where refugees cross from France daily, and tensions rise between 'woke' progressives and a more conservative set nostalgic for Empire and English influence. The town, built for defence, ripples with ghosts of soldiers and now, fleeing asylum seekers, evoking shame and fear in residents. Psychological borders deepen, hindering a multicultural future. But Jessi's film is turned on its head as she meets 6 characters embodying hope for a community of messy inclusivity and English identity, traversing racial, political, and class borders, urging liberal audiences and societies to introspect. Through moments of emotion, humour, and the everyday, the film delves into their lives, echoed by locals’ thoughts and dreams as the Coronation comes, wars begin, and Governments change, tracing British identity amidst social and political chaos. “Capturing a diverse, genuine cross-section of English life, Gutch's self-reflection challenges media stereotypes and her own biases.” Gazettely The screening will be followed by a panel discussion.DocumentaryPT1H24M12A
