My Work and Credits:
Hey Joe (2021)
About:
Hey Joe is set in the mid-1990s and takes us on a journey through the history and experiences of Liverpool 8 since World War 2. The verbatim script is based on an interview with a community activist and fundraiser, and it takes place beside the memorial to Black Merchant Seamen in Falkner Square Gardens which he campaigned for. Although the film centres on one figure, it asks broader questions about memory, recognition, and honesty in our shared histories.
