WE MOVE FUND

Film Still from mini-series 'When Boys Don't Talk About Sex' by Benjamin Turner. Students in a school cafeteria, some sitting and some walking, with large windows and patterned curtains in the background.

Following the journey of two boys and one young man, this project explores young Black male vulnerability around sex, relationships, abuse, assault and misogyny. A hard-hitting narrative to challenge perspectives.

The series is also a short film called ‘AFTERGLOW’, which focuses on a key part of the narrative in what would be Episode 4.
