New SRtRC film nearing completion, 22nd August 2012

Role-models from the world of football support production

Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) are pleased to report that the new version of the SRtRC anti-racism educational film is nearly complete.

Ged Grebby, Chief Executive at SRtRC said, "After 18 months of interviewing top footballers, managers and young people around the UK, we're really looking forward to getting this film out.

"I think it's the best version of our main anti-racism educational film we've produced. We interviewed over 60 role-models in the course of making this film and the support for this project from football clubs, players and managers has been fantastic."

Dragon Films are currently putting the finishing touches to the resource, which will include bonus features such as other SRtRC films, young people's own work entered in our recent School Competitions and extended interviews with players.

"If we had included footage of everyone we interviewed, the film would have been an epic!" said Ged

"It is great to have the facility to include extended interviews as part of the DVD package. We've also added some of the unedited interviews with players to our YouTube channel."

The film features role-models such as Faye White, Didier Drogba, Alan Pardew and Jason Roberts sharing their advice and experiences of racism.

The campaign's education teams have also been hard at work on a brilliant education pack to accompany the film. It pulls together some of the best activities developed by the team for use in a classroom setting.
