Policy Press
IN HIS films, Paul Sng explores the lives of working class people who've been ignored, marginalised or demonised by mainstream media and who are protesting and challenging the status quo in some way.
Now, in his new book Invisible Britain, the documentary photographs, portraits and accompanying text tell the untold invisible stories of those targeted by austerity economics, of those left behind by cuts to public services and excluded from the dominant narratives in the press and broadcast media.
