THOSE FROM DISTANT LANDS
THE DOCUMENTARY
SHORT-FILMS
Spoken Word Poetry
CHAPTER ONE
A powerful anthology of spoken word poetry created by young poets from Respect & Dignity Arts in partnership with Young Identity exploring the formidable story of their ancestors; how those from distant lands left the towns and villages that fed them, composing extraordinary stories, and defining their place in present times.
CHAPTER TWO
Drawing on real-life stories and lived experiences, this powerful piece of spoken word poetry weaves together the journeys of early South Asian migrants who made their home in Pendle. Through poetry, the writers honour resilience, identity, and the voices that helped shape the community we know today.
