The Meaning Of Zong tells the incredible true story of people who sparked incredible change in the face of impossible odds.
To mark Giles Terera's play opening at Bristol Old Vic, we talked to people across Bristol about what change means to them.
We approached individuals, public figures, groups and organisations across Bristol and asked them about:
A moment of change they had lived through.
An inspirational individual who brought about change.
Changes they would like to see in their lifetimes.
We curated our conversations into an extraordinary video which documents the changes we have witnessed or been part of, and reminds us to be the change that is yet to come.

The video premiered at a special Meaning of Change event at Bristol Old Vic in March 2022, which also featured a panel discussion with Giles Terera, co-director Tom Morris, former Lord Mayor of Bristol Cleo Lake and actor, writer, director and lecturer Anni Domingo.
The video was filmed and edited by Bryony Morgan, Meghana Krishnamurthy and Tallulah Rees, produced by Rob Mitchell with the support of Bristol Old Vic.
