Strangers No More | Documentary
Discover Strangers No More, a moving film about older adults in Rotherham using art, poetry and performance to share stories of ageing, identity and connection.
‘Strangers no more’ follows the vibrant and emotional journey of older adults who took part in participatory arts-based workshops at ROAR in Rotherham from September to December 2024.
Building on the earlier life history and go-along interviews, participants came together as a group of older adults to share their stories of ageing in Rotherham through movement, poetry, story-telling and visual art.
Facilitated by a team of talented artists from ROAR (Lora Krasteva, Deborah Frith, Uzma Rani, Anna Kozak), the sessions fostered a safe, inclusive space for creativity, community and self-expression.
The documentary, produced by filmmaker Sean Lovell with support from Ai Narapol, captures this unique journey, culminating in the sharing event, where participants performed for friends and family, celebrating identity, memory and connection across generations.
