This package of films invites you on a journey through shared experiences, diverse voices, the connections that bind us together and the forces that push us apart. From heartwarming tales of neighbourly kindness to thought-provoking narratives that challenge our perceptions of belonging, each film reflects the essence of what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves. Enjoy this entirely British perspective on the communities, both small and large, which prove we are never truly alone.
