Educating Zerena: An Alien Encounter documentary film
In 2017 Ursula White heard the story of The Zerena Project and began research into this undiscovered history, connecting up with the children who were at the school in 1988. A Facebook group (“I Remember the Zerena Project” ) was set up with 80+ members joining. Contact was re-established with Zerena, Professor Blenkinsop, the teachers and artists, which led to interviews in Willows School (Previously Newlyn Place First School) and the creation of a new documentary film directed by Roger Kitchen.
