The Old Courts’ creative studio tenants Northern Heart Films have made their film Joy Uncensored available to watch online!
"After 64-years of living life quietly, retired school teacher Joy France is on a mission to be heard. After finding her voice in the form of spoken-word poetry, Joy attempts to take her new found passion to another level. Can she break gender and age stereotypes by competing in the brutal, youthful, male-dominated world of battle rap? Or is she too notoriously O.L.D?
A story of one woman’s daring attempt to embrace life."
