I had assisted with the promotion of the festival, but watching \u2018The Old Oak\u2019 (15)\u00a0 and \u2018Community Policing: All Things to All People?\u2019 gave me a different perspective. Both films raised questions I\u2019ve been exploring as a sociology student in Manchester over the past few years, especially through voluntary work with young people failed by the systems meant to protect them. They reminded me that justice often begins in the everyday spaces. Whether through relationships, conversations or in the environments where people feel most safe. These films offered a place to reflect on that, the role of justice and\u00a0 what real support can look like when grounded in care.\u00a0\u00a0","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/mmuperu.co.uk\/bjcj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/441\/2025\/07\/Festival.jpg","thumbnail_width":454,"thumbnail_height":290}
