The video is a Young Persons Social Drama project, which arose from a local history project. Rather than the focus of the video being the production itself, it is used to document the progress of the drama project; through this it raises a variety of issues and demonstrates some techniques for tackling them.
A full copy of the project structure and the scripts for the drama pieces are available.
Bear, in mind that it is not a glossy video (much more 'home video') but it is worth persevering with.
Interviews:
- Interviews with Lawrence McIntyre (Rangers) and David Watt (Celtic).
- Interviews with politicians - Frank McAveety MSP and Jim Byrne, prospective MP for the SNP.
- Interviews with Harry Dunlop from St Mungo's Museum and George Best from Glasgow East End News.
- Interview with Betty Springfield Shaw - the script is available.
- Interview with Isobel Smyth and Cara Henderson.
Young People's evaluation: the video asks each participant what they liked, etc. and asks if they have changed their views about sectarianism.
There are additional activities in the pack, for instance, a Court of Justice activity.
This is a rather long video and probably more useful to watch to see the process rather than as a learning aid, however the interview sections could be used productively to stimulate discussion especially as they are not specifically Glasgow focused.
