Congratulations!
“Hear Our Voices”, a film made by Lincoln Media Production graduates and shown at the first meeting of the new Global Counter-terrorism Forum in New York has won praise from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Produced by Tom Mallion and directed by Khurrum Mahmood, the film was commissioned by the Global Survivors Network to tell the stories of survivors of terrorist attacks around the world.
Last Friday afternoon a short film made by young people from all over Lincolnshire, trained by School of Media students, was premiered at the Lincoln Odeon.
