The power of community in tackling societal issues is celebrated in this film about Common Unity


Common Unity is a community space in New Zealand with a big offering, including a café, grocer, bike works, repair café, sewing workshop, shared garden, and even a honey-making enterprise.

Together We Grow highlights the importance of community in tackling issues such as social isolation and food insecurity. In the documentary we meet a group of community members doing the important work of caring for others and building community resilience. It’s a community hub of learning, support, creativity, joy, sharing and shared interest, all in one place.

This film has been entered in the MPB Geographical Better World Video Awards. See all the entries and the winners.
