Hi all,

We've received an email from a lady at some production company wanting to make a program about the history of protesting. Anyway, read the email...

Cheers, Notts IMC volunteer

Hello

Hotbed Media Ltd is currently in production on a five-part series for
Channel 4 Education about the history of protest. 'Power to the People: The
A to Z of Protest' will look at some of the most iconic protests from the
last 100 years and review their aims and discuss their impact - from the
American civil rights movement of the 1960s to the anti-nuclear protests of
the 1980s; from Suffragettes to animal rights - and many more.

We would like to feature the Sharp Hill wood protest in the programme. We
would like to speak to a couple of young people who were out there and can
speak passionately about it.

Can someone please give me a call as soon as possible to discuss this
further?

Thanks in advance

It keeps getting more surreal.
Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Have they heard about 9 ladies, shellto sea, or the new treetop protest in Brighton?

This is a tough one to call... a feature may cement the win, but make us appear ego driven tits, and i fear my ego will not allow that... oh i dont know..

Meanwhile the evil owners of lodge farm have filled in the pond with the newts in. Humans are crap.

Why dont u write to channel 4 and get them to interview you?

It is WAY to late in the day for protest etc. to be a specialist interest for young people.

STOP DRIVING AND REOPEN 9/11!

Thanks Maree,
The 2 groups are now aware of each other. Could be an interesting programme, lets hope so. It may reach some kid who previously thought all grown-ups are effed-up.
Thanks for the link, check it out y'all...

Why not young AND old people?
