MOVIE SYNOPSIS

On 10th May 2022, Tour du Moon, a new free nationwide public festival aiming to reach millions- convoy sets off across Britain as part of Unboxed festival, which celebrates creativity in the UK, as a part of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Of all the Unboxed events and experiences, Tour de Moon is the one most focused on 18 to 25-year-olds, the one with the widest national coverage and with the greatest level of participation by Britain’s creative community. It is also the most ambitious and most prone to go wrong, with a traveling convoy of some of the UK’s most imaginative organizers of experiences, whistleblowers and activists on board working to redistribute wealth…. While the team behind Tour de Moon is all for creating an open, out-of-this-world collaborative project- everything goes against them. Brexit, Covid and the overall divisive political national context. Meet Tour de Moon’s team and see it through their eyes as they try to work to build a festival and heal a nation.
