What people are saying
‘[Standing Above the Clouds] takes viewers beyond the headlines and frontlines in profound and intimate ways.‘
Jennie Punter
‘Here, activism is seen as not just mass gatherings and public protests, but also the very private moments at home alone, in a car with a colleague or at a gathering with family. It’s shown not just as microphone- or megaphone-amplified speeches and slogans chanted to hundreds, but successes and loves, secrets and doubts, quietly passed from mother to daughter, friend to friend.‘
