Concrete and Clay

I am dog tired. Sure I've worked hard before; teaching 30 disinterested, dysfunctional schoolboys ain't a piece of cake I can tell you, but today was something else. It's the school holidays so I thought I'd get myself a little project (6 weeks can get a bit boring, you know).

I was sent an email about a group of film makers who wanted to give something back to the community so they set up Film for Humanity and invited 14 young film makers to come along and make some films to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

Now family legend has it that my grandfather Sam was at Cable Street and took out a few fascists himself (Ok I may have embellished the last part, but hey, indulge me), so of course I was interested.
