The iD Project
Travel to the beautiful island of Dominica as one British man documents his journey of discovery, of identity and learns about the birthplace of his late father.
SarcoidosisUK are the proud hosts of The iD Project, which premiered in April 2019
The iD Project is a film by SarcoidosisUK Trustee Richard Etienne, inspired by his father who sadly passed away from sarcoidosis in 2004. All proceeds from the ticket sales and donations collected on the night of the premier were donated to SarcoidosisUK and the Dominica Relief Fund.
Watch the video that provides highlights from the fundraising screening and read more about the film below.
Dominica is a country I so badly want to call ‘home’. However with a mind filled with unconfirmed truths, myths and warnings from my Dominican-born members of my family, I realised I developed a range of unhelpful conceptions of our islands’ history and culture.
The film features contributions from renowned sarcoidosis specialist Professor Athol Wells as well as accounts from Dominican artists, entrepreneurs, historians and politicians. This film reveals the underbelly of Dominica and the people who create the culture of this beautiful island – putting a small, uncelebrated country, firmly on the map.
