Dinah

Dinah is inspired by the true story of Dinah Black, a Bristolian runaway slave in 1687. She was threatened to be shippedβ€―back to workβ€―on the plantations inβ€―the West Indies. As a result, she cried and ran away. Her ghost still roams the streets of Bristol. In the film we follow the main protagonist Michael, a Tanzanian international student that is settling into Bristol and we experience the city through him, along with his isolation, being an outsider, far from home.
