Short Works - Union Jacq by Bita Taghavi
‘Sometimes it feels like nothing changes, doesn't it? Like every day’s the same. And then one day you wake up and you can’t recognise a thing. Not even yourself.’
Jacqui’s lived in the same Southwest town all her life. She thought that she knew her neighbours, she thought that she knew herself. Turns out she was wrong.
A new story about self-discovery, courage and hope.
Written and read by Bita Taghavi
Produced by Alison Crawford
