Made in Middlesbrough: it takes a village - video

When Sunita Ghosh Dastidar's parents came to the north-east of England they were at one point homeless. Now, as a first-time filmmaker, Sunita reflects on her upbringing in Middlesbrough and the things that helped her get ahead, and explores who is helping families gain the same opportunities today.

Thanks for sharing this and how sad is it to see North Ormesby, which used to be one of our major towns in such a sorry state. Like my home town of South Bank, you could buy anything at North Ormesby and it was such a vibrant place.

Although you shouldn't laugh, I loved the line in it when someone says "we all know about the Boro, it's a ********." I wonder if the councils look at this and act upon it.

What a superb film. Well done Sunita. It dropped us right in to the frontline.
