Matthew & Marta Hawkins
M+M Hawkins are a filmmaking and academic team working across documentary, ethnography and experimental film. As activists engaged with grassroot communities, they are committed to issues of belonging, migration, and social justice. As academics, they investigate those issues empirically and philosophically, while looking into the potential of cinematic narrative, affect, and representation in theory and practice.

Her battle with bureaucracy to secure a decent burial for her late husband paves the way through the streets and institutions of London and informs the intimate picture of her personal reflections on life, love and death.
