Description

A screening of the short film (33 minutes) : You Don't Know What You Don't Know, Do You?, directed by Adam Lewis Jacob, produced by Joel White.

Filmed in Bradford through 2025, You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know, Do You? is a reflection on the history of Bradford Resource Centre (BRC), a key hub for community action in Bradford. Here, from 1979 onwards, a wide range of anti-racist, LGBTQ+, feminist, disability rights, and trade union movements could do the necessary labour that makes political struggle possible.

The film explores BRC’s legacy in the aftermath of a 2024 flood, which damaged the BRC space and archive. The film follows the people who organised around the task of sorting through vast swathes of material housed within the BRC building.

By this point, many were returning to a space they had worked on in years gone by. Scouring through dark basements and dusty attics, we find people questioning what it means to try and record social movement history, and how this mirrors the problems facing BRC through its lifetime: how to define its work, whose voices are heard, how information is collected, when to fight on, and when to let go.
