Completed in 1971 as a social housing development and located adjacent to Birmingham's Gay Village, the towers' proximity to the community means they have long been a haven for LGBTQ+ people. Dorothy Towers frames the buildings in a continuum of history that extends back to the city's postwar redevelopment via its modernist underpasses and nightclubs. The film opens a space to reflect on the complex relationship between architecture, community and memory.
