SCARS - new film out now

Something not Covid-19 related. Aren't we all ready for that? As one of the people in the film says, her scars tell a story of pain, but they were also the making of her. More than ever, we need this reminder that human beings are physically and emotionally resilient, they can survive, evolve and thrive.

SCARS features five people who tell us about how their scars have made them the people they are today. War, self harm, conditions at birth, cancer and domestic violence scars signpost us through a collection of stories which are both extraordinary, yet every day.

Thank you to our wonderful contributors Pete, Helen, Christina, Simon and Cordelia.

Coming in due course... a photography series with accompanying stories and an exhibition.
