Viewer Response to Beyond the Bridge
 

I have just sat outside on a warm Friday afternoon in London and watched your film. It is really lovely and emotional. What a great arts project you have captured in such a moving way (and less than 15 minutes!) all the impacts of the arts personal, social, cultural, emotional, physical, economic, catalytic ... wonderful.

I LOVED this documentary, it is so powerful and moving. I feel at times it's easy to forget what an impact we can have as artists, but this was the reminder I needed!!
