Feeling guilty? The film is based around the creation of a real-life ‘apology line’ where members of the public can anonymously confess to absolutely anything, over the telephone. The idea came up from the original apology project in New York, conceived by artist Allan Bridge. James Lees took the concept and created a short doc/experimental hybrid film with the phone line as the starting point.
