Are we Different? British Pakistani students speak out

Oliver Perry, decided to interview British Pakistan students at Luton Sixth Form College, to find out if they were different from other students including himself.

The Luton community has faced negative publicity and concerns about community cohesion, due to confrontational, provocative protests from the extremist English Defence League and the UK based Al-Muhajiroun fascist group. Oliver Perry, a media student, conducted interviews with fellow students at Luton Sixth Form College to hear their thoughts on these confrontations and how it is affecting young people and communities in the area.

Production team: Luton 6th Form - Phil Dickson-Earle, Oliver Perry, Chris Wyatt, Vincent Forsyth, Reece Cray, Patrick Frath Loughlin, Haydn Talbot, Rachel Kyle, Emil Wostaszek and Grant Rebecca.

This film has come out of a series of RSA Pakistan Calling workshops that students from Luton 6th Form College attended at Rich Mix London. With thanks to Rich Mix and students and staff at Luton 6th Form College.

This film is part of RSA Pakistan Calling.
