Synopsis:
'From Below' is a documentary film showcasing mutual aid and grassroots community action that helped feed and comfort the vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, including Food & Solidarity based in Newcastle's West End (among other organisations in Newcastle).
The film then talks about how community action can be developed in order to support people during other crises, potentially of the economy and of climate change.
