Painted is a 30-minute documentary rooted in Bradford that explores identity, legacy, and belonging within the city’s Afro-Caribbean community. Directed by Bradford-based filmmaker Tom Harmer, the film unfolds through an intimate portrait-making process, where artist Jamie Stewart listens as he paints four elders from the African Caribbean Wellbeing Café. Through the lives of Headley, June, Juleth, and Vie—voices of Bradford’s Windrush generation—the film reflects on journeys of migration, labour, racism, and resilience after answering post-war Britain’s call to “come and rebuild the Mother Country.” As their stories are translated into paint, Painted becomes a meditation on visibility and dignity, asking what it truly means to see someone. The result is a compassionate and deeply human portrait of memory, heritage, and the enduring strength of community.
