Merman

Description: Will humanity ever be accepting of the outsider? Merman weaves medieval myth around issues of present day prejudice. Haunted by what she has seen while carrying out humanitarian work with refugees in the Mediterranean and traumatised by her experiences, Mari returns to her parents coastal home in rural England. There, through an unlikely acquaintance, she discovers the medieval legend of the Merman. The truth behind this seemingly innocent myth is darker than Mari could imagine. Are those who are 'other' destined to suffer as the Merman did hundreds of years ago? The message the myth bears across the centuries restores her resolve.
