The second season you didn’t know you needed!

Where We Belong Season 2 is happening in early 2026. I’ll be on the look out in January for people who’d like to take part in the new 8 episode series.
Season 2 carries on the spirit of season 1, exploring different forms of loss across the region, traditions, trades and ways of life that are slowly fading while still focusing the resilience and identity of the people sharing their stories.

Massive thanks to No More Nowt for commissioning season two and supporting the project from the start, and giving the project (and me) room to grow.
