Rite of Passage

Overview

A semi-autobiographical narrator "Charlie" sets out on an unlikely journey on foot to Gatwick Airport. On his journey, he is forced to come to terms with the extent of his own complicity in a system of neo-colonial oppression, from which there is no escape. Inspired by Patrick Keiller, this is an essay film using landscape photography to examine the privatisation of border control through institutions like Immigration Removal Centers run by private companies like G4S.
