Speak to Me (Short film version)

Synopsis

In 2014 filmmaker Grace Harper started making a film with her estranged father as a way to reconnect with him, during the course of filming her brother Sam died unexpectedly. Continuing filming provided a way to make sense of what had happened, and this resulting film is a story of the very different ways people cope with tragedy, but first and foremost it is a tale of everlasting love.

Extremism is one of the most pressing issues of our time, yet the public's understanding of what causes it and so too how it can be prevented is often far, far away from many of the debates within academic circles. With examples ranging from Sudan, Israel, the US and the UK, to activists from Amnesty International, a pseudonymous journalist and an anonymous expert sits down to discuss 6 metaphorical vignettes from a range of formers, scholars and activists to explore what we've been getting wrong about extremism.
