Description

The Scilly Isles, one of the most remote parts of England, are facing a crisis. With the small population constantly leaving the islands for the mainland, those left behind are having to work harder to make a living. This is a story of community and resilience, as Nigel Farrell explores the daily lives of the islanders over the course of two years. Through his observations, Farrell sheds light on the challenges faced by the islanders, from the impact of emigration on the community to the ways in which they adapt to the changing world around them. The result is a nuanced and thought-provoking portrait of life in a remote and isolated community. By sharing the stories of the islanders, Farrell offers a unique insight into the complexities of rural life and the ways in which people cope with the challenges of living in a small, isolated community.
