Helping Others

Adhurim Demiraj, 2013 | BFI Future Film (United Kingdom)

When Adhurim Demiraj (Albania) first came to the UK he was surprised by how many people there were, but how unwilling they were to help each other. On one of his first days in the country he saw someone lying, apparently unconscious on the street, and no one stopped to see if they were OK. This remix compares inner-city London to a night drive through his childhood city, whilst passers-by reflect on when they last helped or were helped by a stranger.
