Do we stop to think about the story that lies behind a photo, and its true significance? Beyond a Photo is a documentary that helps important, yet invisible, community narratives come to light – using photographs to tell the stories.
Tracing the journey of a photo depicting two young friends in the 1970s, the photo is revisited decades later to chronicle the personal stories that help shape Black British history.
Join us for a screening of the documentary at Minet Library followed by a Q&A with its director Cathy Hassan.
