Dewsbury

Dewsbury Town Centre


Dewsbury is a town in the news, some local residents think for the wrong reasons. No-one pretends the place has no problems, but many people are proud of their town and believe recent events have cast a shadow over their lives and the place they live.

Over the last month the people of Dewsbury have been working with Video Nation to make their own films portraying their views of life in the local area and what's important to them as individuals and a community.

This project was produced in collaboration with the Thornhill Lees Community Centre in Dewsbury and individuals in the town.
