This film will be shown with descriptive subtitles (open captions) on screen.

A major new feature documentary about Folkestone, directed by local director Jessi Gutch.

Jessi moves to Folkestone’s white cliffs; a crucible for debates on what English identity means as refugees cross daily from France. But the film Jessi thinks she’s making, about impossible social and psychological divisions, is changed by 6 of her new neighbours, who embody hope for a country of messy inclusivity.

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.
