A Spell for Wornington Green

A Spell For Wornington Green was shot over 2020-2021 during the Covid lockdown on Wornington Green Estate in North Kensington and follows the hatching and first flight of two baby pigeons and the subsequent coming together of the community in direct action to prevent the felling of 37 trees as a consequence of urban regeneration.

The film is told from the poetic perspective of estate resident and playwright Natasha Langridge (BBC Writers Academy and Meyer-Whitworth Award winner). The film is edited, photographed and directed by Constantine Gras who is a community based film maker who has worked on the social housing estates of North Kensington over the past 10 years and his footage of residents living in Grenfell Tower before the tragic fire is the subject of a major documentary called Grenfell: The Untold Story.
