“My face matters, my culture matters, my people matter”.
‘Better Books’ is a profound campaign that we worked on to help make a big change.
Books are a big part of how children learn about the diverse history and culture of their own ancestry and the world beyond. But the books that are available in Primary schools aren’t representatively reflective of that diversity.
This film was made during the second lockdown so the interviews were recorded remotely, often in our producer Sophie's kitchen, while Tom captured some of our beautifully diverse community all outside and at a distance.
This campaign aimed to raise £10,000 to provide more diverse books for schools and went on to raise double that.
