JUS SOLI

By interrupting the emotional transition between generations and questioning what it means to be British JUS SOLI opens up a discourse on the Black British experience A poetic journey charting the changing emotions of Britains Black population from a Caribbean on the SS Windrush full of hope and love for the motherland to a disaffected British youth angry alienated and marginalised in British society The film also shines light on the underrepresented tragedy of the 13 British youths who were killed in The New Cross House Fire on 18th January 1981 Splicing together archive footage and filmed scenes with other sounds and images JUS SOLI builds a picture of an empire struggling to relinquish its colonial powers
