Overview
In a quiet English commuter town, a former parish church is knocked down to make way for a new apartment block. Locals pass by the rubble unconcerned, except for Sami Shehadi, a Syrian refugee who is upset by the lack of respect for history. After unearthing the site’s incredible origins with the help of young librarian, Bryony, the unlikely friends take action and steal the church bell to protest the redevelopment. However, amidst pressure from the police, media, and their own personal struggles, will they succeed in making this bell ring again?
