Ideas

Everyone has come up with an idea themselves to develop into a possible three minute production or to explore different political debates/topics

Idea 1

An immigrant living in a country, working in a corner shop for years. His home country bombs the country he is now living in. The film tells the story of how he is now being discriminated against and being treated badly by the government resulting in deportation back to his home country. When he returns some time later after the war he comes back to find his shop and house have been vandalised and that there is still hate towards him and his country.

Idea 2

A white man(Chris) and a black man(Tom) are very good friends however Chris's other friends are racist towards Tom and it causes conflict to which Chris defends his friend. Some time later Tom comes across some of his other friends (who are black) and they become racist towards Chris

Idea 3

A black man and a white girl are in a relationship however the dad of the girl disapproves of this from a racist point of view and has him put in jail for under-age sex (which he did not). The film is about how the man comes out of jail after serving his sentence and tries to find a job but has no luck because he has a criminal record. It shows how a racially motivated action has now ruined his life

Idea 4

A man loses his friend during a messy march in the miners strike leaving him on his own. He then tries to track down his friend coming across police groups and other acts of violence that show the horrors of the conflict between the miners and the government.

All these ideas are based upon interaction and how people are treated, we feel this would be the best way to show the film as we can show drama better than a documentary on the goverment.
