The resource prompts a consideration of citizenship and of how individual and shared identity can be constructed
and expressed, as well as how it is represented and seen by others. Wider issues such as young people's voice, representation and rights are explored through the use of film sequences and images.

The activities centre on five carefully chosen films that will engage and excite students in exploring key themes: Goodbye Lenin!; Persepolis; Sunshine on Leith, Passport to Pimlico and La Famille Bélier. This resource is suitable for curriculum areas such as English and literacy, citizenship, PSHE, PSE and PDMU and geography.

Updating our resources

We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.

What our educators say

"As an alternative provision for learners who are not in mainstream school we use your resources in a slightly different way as they generally find it hard to watch a full length film. They are, however fantastic. "
