A Moving Image
Synopsis
Nina, is a young stifled artist who returns to her community after a long absence - she is soon painted as a symbol of gentrification. As she struggles with her own complicity, she embarks on a mission to create a piece of art that can bring her community together.
Real life testimonies from people directly affected by gentrification in Brixton are woven alongside the story of Nina's journey, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
