Well done, it is great.

I think you have captured the mood perfectly. The sense of heritage with a determination to do what they can to save steel on teesside.

Save our Steel on Teesside - Once again, an excellent film! I like the way you incorporate the stills with the movie. Its good that you create these to highlight the problems of the area and also the good aspects of the area.

I have just sat down to update the FTHP web site and will include your link.

Regards

Tony

Great documentary video Sarah, well done.

The recession is biting hard and sadly puts pressure again on our traditional heavey industries of the north. Well done on raising the awareness, and showing the level of support. You've captured a piece of social history.

An exellent video....well done sarah! I hope more people view this and realise how important it is to the people of redcar and teeside as a whole. I saw a few pictures of my son ( the little blonde boy with the glasses) My dad has worked at corus for 35 years, my mother, son and partner were all involved in the march and will be there til the end. Thankyou for your support....... Rob Smith of Redcar.
