Royal Court Theatre and R.O.A.D Entertainment release trailer ahead of screening of new documentary filmed in Tottenham, N17

The Royal Court Theatre and R.O.A.D. Entertainment announce the screening details of Tottenham x Teriy, a documentary film that takes a candid glimpse at those living in Tottenham, N17.

Tottenham x Teriy is a story of ambition, innovation and perseverance placed within a community that has had its share of legacy issues. The running theme centres on the principles of remaining always determined. Watch the trailer here.

Commissioned and supported by the Royal Court Theatre as part of the theatre’s three-year residency in Tottenham, N17, the documentary film is the convergence of theatre, music and art; both with a core value of community interest at the heart.

Commenting on the project Moussa A Sylla, Tottenham Community Organiser said;

“After the riots and way before, the youth in Tottenham have, for the majority of time, been labelled as bad and associated with foolishness and anti-social behaviour, especially those from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. Listening to the story of Tottenham boy Teriy Keys is so refreshing and up lifting and a great inspiration for others. Giving young people a place for their voices to be heard and giving them support to the things that matter to them can be the start of a journey towards a new life.” 

The Royal Court Theatre will be launching the film on 8pm Thursday 30 March 2017 with a screening at The Site, Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square. Tickets can be booked here.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, details of those taking part to be announced.
