ABOUT REEL NEWS

Reel News is an activist video collective, set up to publicise and share information on inspirational campaigns and struggles - not just in this country, but across the world. Initially we are doing this through producing a monthly newsreel, made up of a number of videos short enough to use in union and campaign meetings.

The need to learn from each other seems increasingly urgent. The disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could soon be added to by an attack on Iran, while the rights of the Palestinian people are ignored.

Poverty and starvation are increasing, as even the extremely limited promises that the richest countries in the world made at the Gleneagles G8 summit in 2005 have been broken.

Public services are being privatised across the world with horrendous consequences, as multinationals make a killing.

The effects of global warming means the rich nations need to cut their carbon emissions by 90% by the year 2030 to avert disaster for all life on earth.

We need to share our experiences if we are going to have any hope of stopping this carnage, wherever it comes from. Reel News will try and cover it all, from pensioners protesting against cuts in voluntary services, artists and musicians looking at the world in a different way, through strikes against privatisation, right up to the astonishing social movements in Latin America which have brought down governments through uprisings, mass direct action and general strikes.

Reel News is intended as a two way resource, so let us know about your campaigns. Better still, film them yourself and send us the video - if it's inspiring, we'll put it in the newsreel! We can also be commissioned to make campaign videos, and offer help on camerawork, video editing and other skills needed to make your own video. Rates are on a sliding scale depending on your resources - if you have no money at all, we will still help you!

Reel News is completely independent and nonaligned, but works with everybody. We are completely against sectarianism in all its forms, anticapitalist in outlook, against the anti-trade union laws and in favour of mass collective action in the workplace and on the streets to change society.
