The Royal British Legion and Black History Month

The Royal British Legion commissioned True Tube to put together a group of young Black and British persons each with different heritage to discuss what it means to be British, and whether Black people and those from the Commonwealth feel included in Remembrance Sunday when we honour the service and sacrifice of persons past and present.

Women's History Month

Some of our older content still resonates today, showcasing the movements and individuals that have helped improve women's lives over the last century, such as 90 YEARS OF FEMINISM and THE NEW WAVE OF FEMINISM. THE MAGDALENES and FORCED MARRIAGE are powerful, intense films that reveal misogeny at its worst.

Ramadan

New content is on the way, but THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM and GREAT BRITISH RAMADAN are timeless films that help teach all about the month of fasting and Eid al-Fitr. They feature both personal and global approaches to practising Islam.

Purim

The story of ESTHER AND MORDECAI is told every year by the Jewish community at the festival of Purim. It's a time of celebration, and so we decided to emulate the pantomime-esque, warts-and-all-way in which this story is shared by writing it as if it's an episode of a modern-day reality TV show. Purim is next Monday and we think our award-nominated film is a fun and informative way to teach all about it, especially when coupled with BEAUTY VS INTELLIGENCE. Download our assembly plan to help you use both films in the classroom.
