Through this process, it is intended the give the viewer unedited narratives of the campaigners issues and beliefs. The subjects’ range from very the local to the International. From the conceptual to the personal. From the humorous to the humbling. They have all taken place in the UK over the last 13years. History will be the judge of many campaigns.
