Film Description

Aka The Allotment. A warm-hearted British comedy centred around a group of gardeners at a Merseyside allotment who react angrily when a group of refugees are given plots at the site. After they get to know them better however, they change their minds.

The original idea for the film came from Carl Hunter's involvement with the Merseyside community group 'Art in Action'. He had worked with a number of refugees who had taken up residence in Liverpool and who had been given an allotment as part of a Liverpool City Council initiative. This led Hunter to produce a series of documentaries about the lives of the refugees entitled Putting Down Roots which aired on Channel 4. Frank Cottrell Boyce saw potential in the concept and worked with Hunter to turn the real life story into a film.
