In 2015, when the local Somali Bravenese community had seen its centre burnt down in a hate crime, the local Jewish community quickly stepped in and invited them to pray at their synagogue.
This short film captures the community coming together again in 2018 for a bulb-planting which was dedicated to all those who’ve lost their lives to genocide.
"I had an amazing experience. Being a part of this project was a privilege and served as an inspirational experience to make little changes in the world no matter how small. It is comforting that this work is taking place and there is a groundswell for change.”

This film was produced by MDX students for the Met police event 'Girls Allowed #Safe4Faith' (28 June 2018), an event highlighting the important role played by female members of the community in tackling knife and hate crime.
The film focuses on the idea of having one's voice heard rather than looking to women of faith communities to hold all the answers.
