    (be)longing

    Leslie HILL Helen PARIS 2007 UK Documentary color 10min English Beta SP
    A group of inspiring African teenagers brought illegally into the UK overcome desperate situations and build new lives for themselves in London. Now in college, the girls face deportation on their 18th birthdays under current Home Office rules. This film asks them what they long for and where they feel they belong.
    Helen and Leslie called their company Curious because what drives them as artists is an intense curiosity about the world in which they live. The subsequent investigations involve intimate, personal journeys alongside public research and enquiry. This leads the artists into collaborations and conversations with a variety of people.
