Where Does Cornwall Go From Here?

The third and final part of this programme sees Caroline Righton joined by those featured in the film and those behind the scenes as they join together for a frank discussion. The director of the film One and All: A Question of Cornwall, Grace Kitto talks about her inspirations and intentions of why she made this film. The question is Where Cornwall Should Go Next? There is currently a mind set for some, of Us versus Them with regard to protecting Cornish beliefs and Cornish people. There is also the argument what is a national problem of the day too what a local Cornish problem is. The discussion covers a broad range of topics, including culture, heritage, identity, unemployment, the mining industry, tourism, education, housing prices and the recent development projects, local authority help and government schemes which wasn't covered by the film.

Many believe Cornwall is the underdeveloped part of Britain and would like to see change, many therefore would like to see Cornwall's independence. Cornwall is noted for its geology, wild moorland and coastal scenery. Tourism and to a lesser extent fishing and agriculture are the main sources of the region's economy. Cornish people are proud of their language, landscape, Celtic identity, political history, patterns of settlement, maritime tradition, industrial heritage, and non-conformist tradition which contributes to its distinctive cultural heritage. Cornwall is one of six recognised political groups alongside Brittiany, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales. This film touches on many areas of Cornwall's industry and identity and expresses the opinions of those at the heart of those communities.
