Beginning at the industrial revolution of the ‘great north’, Jenn Nkiru draws lines between peoples, cities, countries, buildings, movements, bodies and spaces(s) using a mixture of archive materials and new footage.

How could a German Wehrmacht soldier become a celebrated soccer idol of the Britons in the post-war period?
