SALFORD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY FILM
 

Star date: 10th December 2010 

YOUR STATE OF EMERGENCY

To coincide with Human Rights Day, a top film by Salford movie maker Mark Ashmore has been re-released free online.

The 30 minute drama, Your State Of Emergency, is based on real human rights atrocities throughout the world transformed into the now. Watch what happens as a white, middle class family get the treatment usually handed out to subversives under regimes like Pol Pot and, er, the USA in Abu Ghraib…

1984? Nah, the 21st Century UK sees unimaginable horrors dished out to grandma and family in director/producer Mark Ashmore's short film, Your State Of Emergency.

It could be a ConDem Government dream, given what was happening on the streets of London yesterday – or some not-too-distant nightmare yet to come. Whatever, it certainly makes you – and the film's granny – wince with horror. We're all terrorists now…

"What we take for granted every day, our basic human rights, is a luxury, it's sad to say that but it's true" says Mark "The film holds a mirror up to our society, asks so many questions of where we could be heading without freedom of speech and human rights. With wiki leaks opening a Pandora's Box on our Government's real world views, I think stories like this film need to be seen so that we continue to question human society, look after ourselves and more importantly help others.

"At a time of public unrest across the world" he adds "it's important to have stories like this, which create art that reminds us of our basic human rights and in a way that is accessible to all."

Just watch this film – then watch your back!

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
