About This Movie

Today I'm With You is a poignant documentary that captures the essence of community through the lens of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen’s work. It weaves together the stories of various groups residing in the Byker Wall Estate, showcasing their daily lives and the subtle complexities of their interactions. The film has this intimate, almost voyeuristic quality, pulling you into their world without the usual gloss of more commercial docs. You get a real sense of place, both physically and emotionally. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe and resonate. It’s an exploration of identity and belonging, but done in a very grounded, authentic style. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill doc; it lingers with you longer than you’d think.
