Abstract

Among the tributes left in St Ann's Square after the Manchester Arena attack in May 2017 were more than 2,000 soft toys. These were dried out, washed and cared for members of the Women’s Institute from branches across Greater Manchester. The soft toys were then distributed to children in Greater Manchester and across the world. This film follows the journey of those 2,000 soft toys.
