Title: Mary Queen of Charity Shops: Revisited
Description: Mary Portas took on a seemingly impossible challenge:
dragging the forgotten, unloved charity shop into the 21st

achieved a remarkable, lasting transformation, overhauling
dismal donations and shocking stock and reinventing their
dowdy stores. But she's not finished yet. Six months later,
she's returning to add the last piece to the jigsaw, with an
idea to overhaul the loyal but ageing workforce and bring in
a new breed of volunteer.

film evokes the spirit of decadence, exploration and
adventure of the safari and reveals how it continues to be a
barometer of our attitudes to travel, our colonial
inheritance and Africa itself
