FILM / THE SAME TRACK

The Same Track uses archival footage of Commonwealth Games athletes, spectators, and administrators cut together with images of economic and promotional activity in various British colonies and Commonwealth states. The Same Track draws attention to the fact that the Games, including in its current iteration, is implicated in an ongoing political project centuries in the making. The film was played on screens outside stadiums during the Commonwealth Games and in local screenings in Birmingham, UK.
