The Promise

The Promise

For many years a fine early Victorian building languished on Bridport Dorset’s high street until a group of enlightened citizens raised money to refurbish it and in light of the towns radical past decided to use it as a centre for meetings, workshops and as a hub for digital start-ups. This film is the story of the rope and net industry that created the working class which created the need in the first place for the building.
