DOCUMENTARY / 12 MIN

Out of a crowd of ten thousand, four people were singled out and put on trial for the toppling of the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol during a Black Lives Matter march. They came to be known as The Colston Four, sparking a polarising debate around race, equality and the celebration of problematic historical figures.

​

The Colston Four obtained Official Selections from Director's Notes, the BAFTA & Academy Award qualifying Cleveland International Film Festival, Odense International Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the People's Choice Award at Two Short Nights Film Festival.
