- SynopsisPaul Godsmark directed this juxtaposition of two views of Reading and its recent development. He began with an idea for following a young skateboarder friend's journey through different areas of Reading,to evoke some of the social contrasts in the town. This was simplified into an account of Reading's Oracle shopping centre, introduced by one of its managers, and a view from another angle, delivered by a recent arrival at Reading's YMCA, who is struggling to put his life back together after a spell in jail. Meticulously researched and planned, it features music played by the Director's sister, and the Sound man's brother. It was shot at Reading station, the Oracle shopping centre and in other parts of Reading. (Nb. Above synopsis supplied by Abingdon School - see NFTVA donor file) (NFA Catalogue)
