Can You Hear Us? is launched

After many years of production, we launched our new DVD “Can You Hear Us?” This DVD is a unique new film made by people with learning disabilities to challenge discrimination “Can You Hear Us?” is a collection of dramatic stories drawing on the real life experiences of the people who made the film, ranging from getting engaged to moving into a new home to dealing with the police. The DVD is available to anyone interested in seeing life from a different perspective, and is also an excellent training resource for organisations or individuals working with people with learning disabilities. “Can You Hear Us?” was made by by UR First, a group of people supported by United Response. The group was set up to support people to speak out for themselves. They came up with the concept of the film, wrote the scripts and acted in the different stories. A major motive was the fact that when they had grown up themselves they hadn’t seen films like this, only ones made by staff or actors.
