Still Keeping the Fight Alive is a fantastic film that tells the history of racism in East London over the past 33 years and how the community came together, to become the collective now known as Newham Monitoring Project, in order to fight it. It tells the stories of the struggles fought and won, as well as the battles that remain:

Understanding where we have come from, and leaning about the struggles that have gone before are important to finding solutions for the future. But in order to move forward we also need to recognise that the experience of racism has changed over time. We need to include those experiences, and give them equal weight.

'We need a movement of young people led by young people, drawing older people as a frame of reference'

The sort of frame of reference that older black and minority ethnic people could offer is explored in our film, Wisdom to End Racism

What will a film about the anti-racist struggle look like 30 years from now? Can you bring old and young voices together so that that film could tell the story of how we ended racism? Join the movement to make racism a thing of the past.
