ABOUT THE FILMS
These films share stories and tactics from some of the Economic Justice struggles in the UK over the last 50 years, the films hope to contribute to the ongoing process of movements now learning from the successes and failures of the past.
The films are snapshots of parts of the Economic Justice struggle in the Uk over the last 50 years. There are so many more stories to be heard, and we hope to expand the project over the coming year.
The films are free for you to use and share at home, in your group or on line.
ABOUT THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROJECT
These films were made as part of the Economic Justice Project.
Despite the impacts of the economic system on our lives, when it comes to arguing about what kind of economy we want, many people who are committed to social and economic justice feel intimidated or confused by complex economic language and shrouded decision making processes.
Economists and politicians would have us think that economic decisions are a science, and out of the reach of the average person’s understanding. The Economic Justice Project aims to break down that idea. Our economic system is determined by the political decisions of governments, everyone can and should be able to have an opinion on what is happening now, and what alternatives can be fought for.
This project aims to provide opportunities for people to learn about the basics of economics and the financial crisis, vital tools for social and economic justice activists. It also brings people together who have similar aims, but don’t usually work together. From global justice campaigners, to anti-cuts activists, there has never been a better time to recognise what we share and how we can strengthen each other’s work.
