Whether it’s the long wait for a reunion, a trip plagued by setbacks or a pilgrimage for answers, these films navigate desire, racism, family and what we hope to find at the end of the line.
Photographic artist Michal Iwanowski sets out on a gruelling walk across Europe, back to Poland, the place he was born. He’s previously walked over 2,000 kilometres tracing his grandfather’s escape from the Russian Gulag, but this walk is even more personal. He’s feeling the negative impact of Brexit Britain and his mother is worried about him. Cardiff has been home for 18 years, he thought he was accepted and embraced there, something he didn’t feel back in Poland as he's gay. So where is home now?
