Back to Bute

In the vibrant docks of Cardiff’s Butetown, where cultures collide and community thrives, a celebration was born that would echo through generations: the Butetown Carnival. Back to Bute journeys through the roots of this iconic event, tracing its beginnings in a post-war city shaped by the African, Caribbean, Arab, and Asian communities who called it home. What started as a grassroots celebration of identity and resistance would grow into a powerful cultural landmark, a joyful rebellion against invisibility. Directed by Micah Joshua Brown
