I love this. From the 'MI5 - Official Secrets' exhibition @UkNatArchives. A senior MI5 manager with #Autism shares what an asset it is being #Neurodivergent:
"Some people are on the ADHD side, some autistic and some are highly sensitive...being neurodiverse brings strength to MI5."

I am so heartbroken, especially NOW that we need Peter's spirit more than ever. There are reasons his films stay relevant & never age: because those who deny history's harsh truths are doomed to repeat, exacerbate or witness them in the present. Peter is a huge influence on me.
Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park
The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

Banned Books Week… so here’s LLAMA GLAMARAMA by me and Garry Parsons - banned in some places in the US because it *checks notes* “promotes a social justice agenda.”
It’s about a llama who likes dancing.
