Description
Residents of Oxford's boating community made this film to fight against the closure of their boatyard to make way for a housing development scheme. In Part 1, members of the local house boat community explain how important it is to have the boatyard near their house.
This video helped the residents put a stop to the development plans which would have destroyed their boatyard. The project was co-ordinated by Nick Lunch (InsightShare) whilst supporting a group trainees on our Introduction to Participatory Video course.

"The participatory video we made was the single most important campaign tool used to save the boatyard from a housing development. It makes people sit up and listen. It brings the boatyard into the offices where they make the decisions."
