Synopsis
A hobby horse race unfolds in East London, blending staged period-drama sequences with candid interviews. Commissioned by the BBC and BFI, Clash critiques Britain's fixation on period dramas and their role in shaping a narrow narrative of national identity. The film responds to Humphrey Jennings' 1942 documentary Listen to Britain, presenting perspectives from underrepresented queer people of colour. It addresses how nostalgic heritage cinema obscures the diverse realities of contemporary Britain.
