LINES
OVERVIEW
What connects five prisons over five decades in Uganda, Palestine, and the UK? LINES looks through the bars of postcolonial life as told through stories in diverging yet parallel worlds. Taking place in 1970s through 2010s, we meet ordinary people in disparate, yet interconnected situations, dealing with imprisonment and impossible choices. LINES is the story of John and Fidaa who meet at a theater festival in 2019 and decide to work together. Tracing the lines that connect them, they imagine who they might have had their timelines intersected in different ways over the past 50 years.
