THE AIR I BREATHE- 3mins'The Air That I Breathe' is about the illegal air pollution levels in Lewisham - where Kissi-Debrah lived - and other racially diverse boroughs like Tower Hamlets and Southwark where residents twice as likely to die from lung diseases than those in richer areas like Kensington and Westminster. Combining a poem by Nina Mdwaba, a spoken word artist based in London, with layered visuals that connect body and social politics - 'The Air That I Breathe' attempts to find a filmic language to represent the imperceptible politics of our air. This film was selected by Edinburgh Green Film Festival 2021

"I'll Believe It When I See It &amp; #Elevatedvoices - 7 mins"I'll Believe It When I See It &amp; #Elevatedvoices short film" is a collaboration between @boldieaintaboy and @sophhfarrell. This spoken-word short film reflects on the feelings of the artist (Nina Mdwaba) during the events that followed the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement 2016 - present and speaks of a black community "drowning in resilience". It also reflects on notions of performative allyship seen heavily demonstrated during this current climate, surrounding the events and throughout history".

LET’S TAKE IT HOME - 7minsLET’S TAKE IT HOME is a digital spoken word and visual performance film exploring the blurred lines of being together and being apart, where home is and is not and how we come to understand and define home for ourselves, through black art, culture, and friendship when we can’t physically be home. Home: the initial definition of a safe space. Boldieaintaboy (Spoken word artist &amp; performer) and Christian Noelle Charles (video performance artist) explore this narrative through poetry, music and movement, and candid conversation that attempts to stir away from the gaze.
