The project, which received the backing of the council's Cabinet at a meeting on Wednesday, 11 November, will leverage Hertsmere’s heritage and expertise in film, television, and media. It aims to create multimedia productions that challenge prejudice, promote understanding, and strengthen relationships between local communities.
Through powerful storytelling and the sharing of lived experiences, 'Common Ground on Screen' seeks to encourage conversations about antisemitism, racism, community resilience, and cohesion, leaving a lasting legacy.
“"We want Common Ground on Screen to leave a lasting legacy, particularly for younger generations, helping to build a stronger, more resilient and united Hertsmere. By drawing on Hertsmere’s proud tradition and expertise in film, television and media, we have an opportunity to create something innovative and meaningful that shares people’s experiences and encourage conversations."
