Abstract

Created through a series of workshops and conversations during the first lockdown in 2020, human conversations with those directly effected by the UK asylum system were developed into a script in the form of a letter, then brought to life with the aid of ideas and discussions that emerged from the workshop. The original aim of the research project was to find ways of moving beyond a familiar mode of representing asylum seekers, one which relies heavily on intrusive and traumatic experiences of forced migration and personal suffering, and instead to use filmmaking as a critical tool to scrutinise the UK asylum system itself.
