About the production

This project was made in conjunction with Westwood 2015, a local charity who's focus is on preventing social exclusion. This project came about after a recce of Elsecar when we happened to bump into Ian (the first man interview). Learning about his connections to the town spurred us to dig deeper and uncover how the residents of Elsecar were connected to the town.
