The documentary Made in Walthamstow highlights the first football kit designed collaboratively with a museum, blending art and sports in a unique narrative.
Awoyungbo, the director, wanted to honor a hometown hero while exploring the history of football kits and the community's significance.
Morris, while advocating for accessible art, left a legacy where much of his work remained accessible only to the wealthy.
