Update: This film will be screened at The Castle Theatre on Thursday 25th May.
In May 2022 Sleeping Radical and Michal Spišiak of RYG Films screened a new film about the Romanian community living in Wellingborough, made in collaboration with the help of local residents and it’s now available to view online.
About From Under the Same Skies
‘From Under the Same Skies’ is a collaboration between Michal Spišiak and Emma Matthews of Sleeping Radical, commissioned by Made With Many and supported by Arts Council England. Together they worked with participants to create a film that looks into the common experiences to be found between one country and another. In this film, they spoke to residents of Wellingborough who moved here from Romania. With their input and guidance, the film will be used a way of reaching out beyond their daily contacts to let the rest of the community know about their experiences.
