A documentary about the life of Margaret Stanton, my grandmother and a lifelong activist
who has been involved with many campaigns from the Spanish Civil War to the Vietnam War,
and Anti-Apartheid. Margaret speaks about what influenced her to keep on campaigning for over
70 years, and others comment on her contribution and legacy. In the film, Margaret revisits
places where important events in her life took place and remembers stories which weave together the personal
and the political, the local and the global.

A film made along a Ley line at Braziers Park in August 2008. The film-makers were taught to dowse by Braziers Park resident and Ley lines expert, Catherine Howie. They proceeded to dowse a line through the house and out into the landscape for 1km each way, from the fulcrum point of where the line met other lines, inside the house.
The audio is an interview with Catherine Howie about the meaning and powers of Ley lines, and her methodologies for discovering and interpreting them.
Made as part of Braziers International Artists Workshop 2008 by Katy Beinart, Steven Eastwood and Mia Taylor.
