A documentary that reveals the true story of Moss Side - a place of resilience, creativity and community pride.
Moss Side, an inner-city Manchester neighbourhood, is often reduced to external perceptions of crime, violence and poverty. The Success of Moss Side dismantles the dominant narrative through intimate community portraits: a football coach nurturing dreams, a mother channelling grief into activism, and a music producer weaving the area's soul into sound. Together, they reveal a Moss Side that headlines ignore – a place of resilience, creativity and unyielding pride.
