Building A Village (2026)

""You can't be in a village without looking after all your villagers.""

When 25% of those living in Foyle/Derry City are battling with loneliness and community funding has been cut by 64% across Northern Ireland, we explore why community spaces like this matter now more than ever. Through interviews with Derry Meet Ups founder Cassie Jane, members and facilitators, the film tells the story of what happens when people choose connection and what’s possible when community is treated as something worth protecting.
