New Town Utopia 
New Town Utopia is a feature documentary about utopian dreams and concrete realities… the challenging, funny, and sometimes tragic story of the British new town of Basildon, Essex.
The narrative is guided by the artists, musicians and poets of Basildon – on a journey through memory, place and performance. Facing austerity, adversity and personal battles they are individuals driven by creative spirit to help their community through art, poetry, music… and some rather angry puppets.
New Town Utopia features Oscar-winning actor Jim Broadbent as the voice of Lewis Silkin MP.
“This sweet, sad film is an ode to the unique moment when postwar Britain allowed itself to dream - and shape that dream in concrete.” – DANNY LEIGH, FINANCIAL TIMES
