A compelling, surprising new show that turns a spotlight onto Britains missing histories. Dedicated to the Black Mens Walking Group. Thomas, Matthew and Richard walk. They walk the first Saturday of every month. Walking and talking. But this walk Maybe they should have cancelled, but they needed the walk today. Out in the Peaks, they find themselves forced to walk backwards through two thousand years before they can move forwards.
