Conflict and Change
A rallying cry from the heart; Abdul Malik is a force for good and a force for change in 1980s Newcastle.
A film about Newcastle-born Abdul Malik, who talks about his early years growing up in the city and his issues of racism and inequality. He has formed the Newcastle Black Youth Movement; he is a co-ordinator for the organisation and speaks with victims of racial harassment.
Although the production is believed to have been made on film, it has been finalised on video with the inclusion of titles and credits.

Unheard Voices
Witness the flashpoints in history when the tide turned against inequality and the North East began to embrace its own rich diversity.
Thanks to its sea coast and relative closeness to Scandinavia, the North East has been a cultural melting pot since before records began. Vikings, Anglo Saxons and merchant sailors from even further afield have brought art, ideas and customs to add to an already rich cultural heritage.
However, some perspectives have traditionally been suppressed in a culture which favoured white, Christian, heterosexual conformity. This collection gives a voice to people who have been voiceless for too long.
