CITY OF SANCTUARY | WELCOME

We were approached by Media Trust to create a film that brought awareness to what it feels like for people seeking asylum to be welcomed to the UK. If you watch the news you’ll know these are trying times but there are good people out there making a difference. The film explores the small acts of kindness which can go a long way.

Huge thanks to the whole team on this one.
