“These young people’s voices are crucial to the future of our society. They will make you laugh, cry, think and maybe, be a little more understanding…”

Two young men: Tyler Cunningham and Yossi Goodlink, both educators, poets and actors, have delivered a series of workshops collaborating with marginalised young people (mostly refugees) living in London. The project known as Right to Speak culminated in a showcase performance and the production of several films… Acceptance and Purpose are two short films sharing these young people’s stories and perspectives through poetry.
