Things Fall Apart (2017) is a part-documentary film depicting a disenfranchised community and their local battle for the intangible values of place, identity and belonging, in which a major international hedge fund appears to hold the cards. Set in the heart of the West Midlands, the film follows a group of football supporters in Coventry, as their club is uprooted from the city during a dispute over a stadium and casino complex involving a local charity, the city council and the hedge fund owners of the football club.

Featuring the collaboration of the Sky Blue Trust and Jaguar Land Rover Band (now Brass Band of Central England).
