Authors of The Estate
Join Common/Wealth at Grange Pavilion for a very special film screening of The authors of the Estate, followed by a talk with Nabil Al-Kinani, Abdou Cisse, and André Anderson. The film will be shown on February 27, from 6pm-8pm. Tickets are free, but must be booked through our Eventbrite.
The authors of the Estate is a powerful new documentary which celebrates a community reclaiming their story. The documentary follows a project where residents of a council estate wrote their stories, turning council houses into publishing houses.
Only 1 in 10 authors in Britain are working class. Working class neighbourhoods often become an aesthetic to brands, a scapegoat to politicians, and a target to developers. Authors of the Estate changes all that.
What began as a grassroots publishing project has evolved into a documentary that amplifies those voices, bringing their words to life and inspiring the next generation of writers from estates across the United Kingdom.
