"The New Exonians is a powerful documentary that captures the diverse experiences of migrant communities in Exeter, exploring their journeys of resilience, adaptation, and success. Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, this film brings to life the personal stories of individuals who have built new lives in Exeter while preserving the rich cultural traditions of their homelands.
Focusing on three key communities—the Filipino Community Association, the Exeter Malayalee Association, and the Devon Bengali Association—the documentary delves into their contributions to the city, the challenges they have faced, and the ways they have fostered a sense of belonging. Through intimate interviews, community events, and archival storytelling, The New Exonians paints a heartfelt portrait of a multicultural Exeter, where heritage and identity intertwine.
This documentary is not just about migration—it is about hope, perseverance, and the universal quest for home. By sharing these stories, The New Exonians aims to inspire understanding, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for the diverse communities that shape modern-day Exeter.
