Set in post-Brexit Britain during the US Donald Trump election, Identity is a tale of Jon, the teenage son of a prominent EDL member. His life is turned upside when he prevents a Muslim girl from being attacked on a bus. What follows is a journey of self-exploration set amid the backdrop of the northern England city of Manchester. Eventually Jon has a choice to make - stay on the path that his father has carved out, or choose a different path altogether. Cover photo is an original by Rachel Horgan.
