Things Fall Apart (2017) is a part-documentary film/sound work depicting a disenfranchised community and their local battle for the intangible values of place, identity and belonging, in which a major international hedge fund appears to hold the cards. Set in the heart of the West Midlands, the film follows a group of football supporters in Coventry, as their club is uprooted from the city during a dispute over a stadium and casino complex involving a local charity, the city council and the hedge fund owners of the football club.
