I and the Village

Living in limbo at an isolated Direct Provision Centre, Keicha and Jeta await decisions on their status to remain in Ireland. Sharing a room, their memories and fantasies seep into the dank walls merging into one story. When eighteen-year-old Hannah joins them she must fight to maintain her sense of identity or risk getting swept up in their reality. Limited in what he can do, kind-hearted Carl, battles with his morals and his position as Centre Manager. I and the Village explores the consequences of long term confinement in a system designed to be flawed. A story of longing, survival and hope.
