In 2020, fuelled by eco-anxiety and fear for her children’s future, Justine Aldersey-Williams founded a regenerative textile collective—a Fibreshed—in the Northern heartland of British industry. Aspiring to work with natural fibres and dyes in a country that no longer grew or processed them commercially, she initiated a collaboration with her friend Patrick Grant, a local clothier and judge on the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee.

They set out to grow fibre and dye to help reintroduce heritage textile crops to British soil. Together with SuperSlow Way and a community of volunteers, they planted flax and indigo in Blackburn and the Homegrown Homespun experiment began. Could they grow a prototype pair of jeans and bring them to market through Patrick’s social enterprise, Community Clothing, in time for the British Textile Biennial?

Come to the film's premiere with after-show Q&A to find out!
