Film Resources

Both HUMANiTREE and Wales Untold are part of Urban Circle Newport’s award-winning approach to youth-led, anti-racist education through film and media. Co-created with young people, these documentaries don’t just tell powerful stories, they act as tools for dialogue, learning, and systemic change.

Urban Circle offers bespoke screenings, workshops, and panel discussions designed to spark critical reflection in schools, universities, community spaces, and professional settings. These films are available to book for events, festivals, and training programmes, and are supported by educational resources that deepen impact and engagement.

At the heart of the project is a belief in co-creation, lived experience, and giving young people the platform to challenge injustice and reimagine the future.

Wales Untold is a dynamic youth-led documentary produced by Urban Circle Newport that uncovers the hidden histories of Black and ethnic minority communities in Wales. Through powerful interviews, local stories, and creative visuals, the film reveals how these communities have shaped Welsh culture, industry, and resistance — despite being overlooked in mainstream narratives.

Challenging the gaps in our collective memory, Wales Untold offers a counter-narrative to colonial and Eurocentric versions of history, reclaiming space for voices long excluded from the national story.

The film serves as both an artistic statement and an educational tool sparking critical conversations in schools, universities, and community spaces across Wales and the UK.

HUMANiTREE is a bold, feature-length documentary created and produced by young people at Urban Circle Newport. Blending science, sociology, and personal narrative, the film explores the African origins of all human life, challenging the myths that underpin racism and inequality today.

Through interviews with world-renowned geneticists, historians, and sociologists, HUMANiTREE uncovers how race is a social construct, not a biological truth and how our shared ancestry connects us more deeply than we’re often taught.

Rooted in anti-racist education and youth-led media activism, the film is more than a documentary; it’s a tool for learning, dialogue, and transformation in classrooms, communities, and institutions across Wales and beyond.
