A young man tries to escape a surreal dystopia where everyone wears ginormous metal stilts

Commissioned by Channel 4 to celebrate Black History Month, the visually and emotionally striking film tells its story with interviews and voiceovers of various mothers; from embarking on motherhood in pregnancy all the way through to grandmothers; covering topics such as dismantling stereotypes, navigating motherhood and sitting down with a child to talk about race.

An intimate short film that brings together a group that encompasses women and non binary people, as they discuss their common experience of being both queer and black. While reflected in a mirror each person presents a moment of introspective reflection as they share their personal view of themselves and how others and wider society perceive them.

'Divided We Scroll' is an eerie depiction of our intimate relationships with technology.
