As a member of the Glasgow based Camcorder Guerillas, and as a photographer, I had the pleasure of taking the stills of our recent film shoot for our upcoming film Dungavel.   The location was one of the Anderston Tower Blocks, in Glasgow city centre.

At Camcorder Guerillas, we believe that locking up refugees, including children, in Dungavel Prison is an abuse of their human rights. We are working with a number of refugee organisations to make a film to inform people about Dungavel and inspire them to take action.

The 25-min film will take the viewer through a journey which explores the issues, through a series of short linked "chapters" (which can also function as stand-alone very short films).

“Chapters” are in different styles, from drama to testimony to animation to poetry. We plan to finish this film by September 2005.
