Martin Parr's Black Country Stories: Teddy Grey's Sweet Factory (2011)
Overview
Magnum photographer Martin Parr returns to working with moving images in this wonderfully engaging documentary about Teddy Gray’s sweet factory in Dudley in the West Midlands. Established in 1826, Teddy Gray’s has always been a family owned and run business. Five generations have worked and contributed towards the business of keeping the traditional, hand-made methods of sweet making alive. The film is part of the Black Country Stories body of work commissioned by Multistory to document life in the Black Country.
