20B

In an attempt to reconnect with her sense of home, Jane goes on a mission to find her former neighbours to document their memories, and make a record of the community which was scattered by regeneration.

Part auto-biography, part oral history, 20B is a moving exploration of what home and community really mean and how it feels when these things are lost. With warmth and humour, Jane uncovers the narratives of our city, from post-war slum clearance to Olympic-era gentrification.
