Film making by young people, for young people and the wider community.

‘Often it is those we least expect to have an opinion, who actually offer the most thought provoking and challenging perspective on the world.’ – MTR

Mouth That Roars (MTR) is Youth Media Organisation which was set up with the sole purpose of training young people in film production who wouldn’t ordinarily have access to media resources. MTR enables young people who are quite often misrepresented, a space to be heard and a medium in which they can voice their thoughts and feelings. Good youth work and children’s rights practice underpins MTR’s approach

‘You have the right to reliable information from the mass media from all over the world. Television, radio and newspapers should provide information that you can understand and should not promote materials that could harm you.’ Article 17, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)

MTR..

produces films made by young people, encouraging them to challenge mainstream opinion, highlighting their own perspective. Encouraging active participation and cultural exchange through the process of film making

MTR ..
