Every year people around the world don a red poppy in remembrance of the world-shattering events of WWI and WWII. But, in recent years, a debate regarding whether the symbol of the poppy has been co-opted by the media and by overt political bias has put its status into question. Imogen and Elliot discuss what remembering these wars means to their generation of young people.

Elliot (He/Him) – As Head of Production and Design, I am a fan of all things to do with moving images – film, TV, animation, you name it. Simply put, I love making videos and telling stories, and when I’m not doing that, I’m probably reading them. Follow me on Twitter, LinkedIn and drop me some ideas/feedback on email.

Thred Talk – LGBTQ+ history you might not know

Pride month may be coming to an end, but LGBTQ+ history should be celebrated and shared all year round. In this Thred. Talk, Elliot gives a history lesson that you likely won’t find in your textbook - from transgender sword fighters to the mind behind microchips, this video proves just how prominent LGBTQ+ individuals have been in the past. *** Written, filmed, and edited by Elliot Wheatland-Clinch
