c media roots engages local communities in the production of social documentaries that unearth reminiscent stories, share individual experiences and offer insights into people's worlds.

c media roots supports emerging talent by offering young people hands on participation and training during productions in addition to bespoke one to one training and apprenticeships tailored to specific needs and interests.

“Stories From The Cut” is an example of a recent project delivered through c media roots where young people explored the history of the Leeds - Liverpool canal and life around it, through interviews, video reconstructions, digital photography and music. The filmmakers live in the Bradford area and are educated outside of the mainstream school system. This project was funded by Screen Yorkshire and Media Box, a scheme funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
