‘Hide and Seek’, a short film created by Interact’s young film makers, 2013
In this thought-provoking documentary ten film makers dig deep under layers of modern prejudice to find out how social media has affected islamophopbia in the UK since the 7/7 bombings. Speaking to writers, professors and young experts in social media this documentary aims to uncover how the anonymity of the internet has influenced the apparent rising tolerance of prejudice.

‘From Cable Street to Brick Lane’, dir. Phil Maxwell and Hazuan Hashim, 2012
This independent, feature length documentary deals with the fight against racism and fascism in the East End of London. The film explores how different communities came together from the 1930s until today to challenge racism and intolerance.
