Armstrong is a film about strength that plays with the building blocks of the universe.

Animated fabric playfully brings the story of a lingerie factory in Manchester to life. Silk, cotton and lace go under the camera, as the workers recount the history of Headen & Quarmby, the UK garment manufacturing industry, and British family traditions of making. The factory works closely with English fabric manufacturers in Nottingham, Huddersfield and Macclesfield, resisting the global race towards the lowest price at a high cost to the environment and local community well-being. 

A specially composed orchestral soundtrack by Swedish composer Malin Bång, inspired by sounds of sewing machinery, evokes the ups and downs of the factory.
