“A chance to revisit the open and inspiring spirit of Border Crossings' ORIGINS Festival, our first documentary film, made in 2016, explores the history of Indigneous travellers to London.”

Overview

Narrated by Mark Rylance

Written and directed by Michael Walling. Photographed and edited by John Cobb. Produced by Marine Begault.

The extraordinary tales of Pocahontas, Joseph Brant, Bennelong and Mai are placed alongside Indigenous travellers from our own day, offering a timely re-assessment of our city and its relationship to the lands it once colonised. HIDDEN HISTORIES is narrated by Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance, and streams on this webpage for one week from 6pm UK time on April 30th.

Produced in association with the Open University and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
