Another Crossing
Synopsis
Another Crossing tells stories of an individual, of a family, and of communities in a Leeds where cultures meet. In rhythms that draw from music, with an unerring eye for the details that catch a moment, Another Crossing both recreates the recent past and asks questions about the present.
