🔱🧿 I had the pleasure of hosting a masterclass with the double @BIFA_film winning team of @IfTheStreetsDoc which is on @BBCiPlayer & @bbcstoryville for @WFTV_UK last week. 🎙️ Thanks for the candid chat, director @THEAliceRussell & executive producer @PicturesDorothy JULIA. 🎬👏🏽

"Without those brave Palestinian journalists on the ground, there will be no one to tell the rest of the world about the ongoing, horrific impact of this war on the innocent people of Gaza."

Felt powerful hearing Mac's words in parliament - 'this is the battle that we're fighting... because they feel their children are safe' - doors away from the empty green benches that we see in the film. Massive thanks to @helenhayes_ and @SamTarry - two MPs that do care.
Was amazing to help host a powerful documentary in Parliament tonight with @helenhayes_on made by @THEAliceRussell ‘If the Streets Were on Fire’ a about 'Bike Stormz', a popular youth-led protest movement against youth violence.

Thanks friends. Totally wild. So happy, deeply honoured. My brain completely malfunctioned and wouldn’t say the things it needed to in the moment. But to everyone who has watched and supported this film, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. @BIFA_film thank you for believing.

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

#IfTheStreetsWereOnFire part of the @bbcstoryville series. Heart in my mouth viewing. Compulsive narrative. Beautifully shot. £1bn cut from youth services since 2010. Long may the outriders find a path, keep the faith and rebel. Safe passage Miles and Mac. @BBCiPlayer BikeStormz
'Hyper-relevant documentary' @SightSoundmag
Thank you for the beautiful and thoughtful review @thobbsjourno, we nearly missed this one.
@tapecollective @PicturesDorothy @TheDocSociety @BFI @BIFA_film @Film_London @bbcstoryville @grajah
UK film journalism can be a tricky place, so I'm proud to break through and make my debut in the new issue of @SightSoundmag.
I reviewed 'If The Streets Were On Fire', a documentary about inner city kids using the freedom of bmx riding to escape gang violence.

"Independent documentary in the UK faces an existential threat and there is urgent need for coordinated, long-term interventions across the sector".
