Between 2015 and 2020, the Divergente team led a multimedia workshop with young people from the Zona J social housing project in Chelas, Lisbon. The network of trust established during those years meant that, when we embarked on this feature, we had direct access to many of the people who we interview here. A documentary born of one group of friends’ desire to tell their story and that of their neighbourhood, produced by Bataclan 1950 and the Bagabaga Studios cooperative, home to Divergente.
