'You can feel racism in the way people treat you'

The experiences of black people living outside of the UK's big cities have been shared online as part of a project about rural racism.

Sheringham Little Theatre in Norfolk has produced films, performances and online workshops on the subject.

It comes nearly a year after the death of George Floyd in America sparked protests around the world as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Poet Piers Harrison-Reid is part of the project.

He said: "The racism you get in rural communities is down to people not being exposed to different cultures as much and, a lot of the time, is not meant in spite. You can kind of feel it in the way they treat you."
