On the July 3, local non-profit organisation Diversity Resource International (DRI) will present their film "Shades of Sussex" at Charleston in Lewes, home to creative exhibitions and workshops in the town.

Their feature film, "Shades of Sussex" showcases the experiences of expatriates who have migrated to the UK, sharing their journeys and stories from months, years, and even decades of living in this country.

The film was originally released in 2022. However, between 2023 and 2024, DRI extended the film to include the perspectives of four young individuals, with the hope of reaching and inspiring the next generation.
