Over The Wall is our first foray into the world of documentary. Matthew graduated in Film from Queen Mary’s in 2011, having previously made several short films. Jasper is a Politics and Social Anthropology graduate from SOAS University, who was co-President of the Students’ Union last year.

Both recent graduates of university they set out to document this adventurous tour on what proved to be a transformative experience.  Now, upon their return they feel compelled to not only make this documentary but also to try and create future works together about issues they feel passionately about. Their goal is to capture the hearts and minds of people in our global society. Conscious of the changing political climate they want to give a spotlight to the lives of those who are often marginalised in society, celebrating the value of human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity. Their interests range from the Congolese War to Football in Gaza.

The philosophy, is simple: all are born equal it is merely society which creates difference. They intend to highlight these differences which have often arisen unfairly and in turn educate audiences on how change is possible. Both cavaliar in their approach to filming they have no hesitations or qualms with straying off the beaten track and exploring areas of conflict and danger where injustice is often prevalent.
