25 h. ago Blue Has No Borders review – hunt for British identity in British seaside town maps the national psyche

Director Jessi Gutch shadows seven Folkestonians from a Syrian refugee, to a drag artist and a Brexiter‘Make invisible people visible,” reads a banner at Folkestone Pride in this woolly docu-hunt for that most mythical of beasts: British identity.
