Us Here Now - Documentary film

Us Here Now
“Optimistic portrayals of life"
★★★★ The Stage

Us Here Now is a celebration of people in Cardiff East; their stories and their power. It’s a journey into what it means to be seen and heard; it’s a challenge to the negative narratives that often surround us.

At the end of the summer in 2020, after lockdown, Common Wealth worked with artist Jon Pountney and people who live, work or are from St Mellon’s, Llanrumney and Trowbridge to capture a snapshot of life in the sunshine; us, here, now.

This is a short documentary film made by Redbrck Films that introduces you to the people behind the photos, looking at representation, power, and setting the record straight. The outdoor exhibition will be displayed in St.Mellons Civic Square until March 2021.
