The fifteenth of thirty-seven short films produced by documentary filmmaker Tom Harmer as part of the 52Humans project. Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic and released weekly for a year, the film follows the work of Torren-Lee Dewar whose work forming and running the Alliance Dance Unit based in Hounslow in West London has provided hope, unity and injected a light into the local community and helped to bring people together. Title: One Entity 15/52 Over a montage of Torren-Lee Dewar both driving and walking through the night-time streets of Hounslow, he talks about the degrading experiences of dealing with the Metropolitan Police. Sitting in a sofa he holds up a copy of the book he had written Everything is Everything before looking on the internet about the charity he formed Alliance Arts. As he holds a dance class as part of the Alliance Dance Unit in voiceover he explains how and he sees the world differently. As he begins to walk under a pedestrian underpass he talks about a friend who was chased by a vicious dog changing to a montage of images or Police Constable (PC) Diamond of the Metropolitan Police who helped Torren to ‘see the light’ before talking about the reasons for setting up the Alliance Dance Unit which brings people away from anti-social behaviour. A montage of dancers of various ages performing on stage or rehearsing in a studio. A montage of images taken from the National Diversity Awards alongside more dancing with Torren explaining how the Alliance Dance Unit finished in the top eight at the awards and being very lucky to have this platform to instil a different mindset. As Torren watches footage of protests in America relating to #BlackLivesMatter he talks about how it can divide a nation and a family but is uplifted that people have come together and sees a lot of diversity. As he comes out of the underpass into the light he poses beside a lamppost on which is a COVID-19 sign hangs and talks about how running the charity gives him hope that change will come. Over a final montage featuring various images of dancers of all ages in a studio, the film ends on an image of children dancing in Union Jack tops with Torren states that the common theme is that we are one entity. Title: “Change comes when we become one entity.” Torron End title: www. 52Humans.com
