Episode 4: Finding Annie

In this two part episode, Francesca goes in search of where Annie came from talking to the artists and facilitators that were laying groundwork in workshops and connections. We catch a glimpse of the Annie’s rehearsing out on the streets of Coventry before hearing from artists and facilitators.
