Projects about a renowned deaf DJ and why Black people struggle with swimming comprise some of the latest winners of Netflix UK’s Documentary Talent Fund.
The winning docs received £30,000 each and are focused on the theme of “connection.” They were showcased at a premiere event at London’s Ham Yard Hotel last night and are now available to watch via Netflix’s 6.3 million-subscriber YouTube Channel Still Watching.
The projects, which can be seen below in full, include a story about deaf DJ Troi Lee, titled Turn Up The Bass, created by a mostly deaf crew, to a film exploring why such a high number of Black people in the UK can’t or don’t swim. Other projects include Iranian Yellow Pages about a man trying to make a new life in London who places an advert in an eccentric newspaper and discovers the Iranian community hidden in plain sight.
