Ed Webb-Ingall traces the democratising impact of portable video recording technology from the late 1960s to the early 21st century. He introduces pioneering and dynamic videomakers from John 'Hoppy' Hopkins to Liberation Films and Ceddo Film and Video Workshop, showing how video played a powerful role in local and national campaigns on issues including housing, labour struggles and racial justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals the grassroots radicalism of generations of video activists who put cameras in the hands of campaigners and marginalised groups to equip them to challenge authority and fight for tangible change. \u003ci\u003eClose-Ups\u003c\/i\u003e highlight innovative hardware and campaigns from the miners' strike to AIDS activism. Webb-Ingall shows that the spirit of analogue videotape lives on in today's digital video activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Webb-Ingall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183902223X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839022234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.69w x 1.00d","brand":"Ed Webb-Ingall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659675545855,"sku":"9781839022234","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-british-video-ed-webb-ingall-9781839022234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
