'i am only present' addresses the material foundations of immigration detention in the UK, casting Brook House Immigration Removal Centre in the leading role. Narrated by the building itself, the film takes the viewer to the overgrown outskirts of Gatwick Airport, where time stands still for 508 detainees. Here they are hidden in plain sight, only a few meters from one of europe's busiest runways.
