No Man is an Island

Available for over a year

What do the words ‘gone too soon’ mean to you? For Jade Scott these words are haunting and evoke memories of her father and a generation of black men who, like him, met their deaths prematurely. More than a decade on from his passing Jade speaks to black men about their interior lives. She asks where are the spaces for black men to experience love and care in community - while black fathers reflect on grief and loss in a culture that requires the giving of the body for the survival of the family.
