Looking for Sierra Leone
A group of young filmmakers, working with the Community TV Trust and the South London Gallery, created this film in 2011, to mark the 50th anniversary of Sierra Leonean independence.
Southwark, and especially Peckham, is home to members of the Sierra Leonean diaspora – some settled after the country gained independence on the 27 April 1961, while others came seeking to escape the chaos of the civil war. Many have opened small businesses; these also serve as informal community centres, helping to support each other and keep Sierra Leonean culture alive in London.
The young filmmakers introduce us to this community through interviews where members of the community discuss the country’s history and politics, and their hopes for its future.
