The Elephant in the Room was one of the signature digital events in the Mayflower 400 Plymouth programme.
This short film by Beyond Face isn’t a story about a ship, or a journey to another land.
It is a story about today and six characters who are still experiencing the impact of our colonial history, in cities that have only just begun to speak about their complex past.
Throughout the film, these characters are met with denial, reluctance, avoidance, ignorance and ultimately silence, as they figure out how to be seen and heard in a system that was never built for them.
This section contains links to information about the team behind the fascinating film and how you can watch it.
