Semi-Documentary

Semi-documentary shows us the ‘birth of the individual' under King James I of England, subsequent violent repression immediately after the English Civil War, re- flowering during the Restoration, subjugation by religious and conservative governments, and proliferation in the 20th century with Hippies, Punks and youth movements, which today are flattened again by capitalism. We are left, umbilical cord in hand, at the birth of a new ‘Post Human’ generation looking for connection, but delivered into a human world as imperfect as it has ever been, with social inequality, war mongering, racism, environmental collapse and a pandemic to contend with. Icons of culture are seen in Semi-documentary side by side with members of a young generation who have not yet won their place in history. If you don’t like this world, will you fight for a new one..?
