Working class culture, the film industry and white privilege

Paul Holbrook is an award winning filmmaker from Hartcliffe, south Bristol. His diverse films range from horror to comedy, and are often rooted in the experience of council estates and working class communities. Paul and Neil discuss ‘classism’ in the film industry, whether the importance of class is being underplayed in a national debate dominated by the media and cultural elites. They dive deep into the furore caused by a recent report by Parliament’s Education Select Committee, that implied that a focus on addressing racism toward students was leaving white working class children behind.Paul's most recent film Hungry Joe (Content Warning) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj2NmOZ8i-s Hosted on Acast.
