Resistance: which way the future? is the latest project from award-winning media production company Roaring Girl Productions (RGP). A timely and hopeful work, it explores the marginalisation of a minority social group and asks what can be done to prevent oppression in the future.

Resistance is a dual-screen interactive installation, comprising drama and documentary films and an immersive audio-video experience, which takes as its starting point the Nazi programme of mass-murder targeting disabled people living in institutions and, importantly, disabled people’s resistance to it. The opening film follows the story of Elise, a patient who sweeps the institution. She doesn’t speak but watches everything. She watches buses full of Patients leave and return empty. When it’s her turn, she knows what’s in store. Based on real events, this is the story of one woman’s resistance in the only way she could.

Over a decade in the making, it is the latest project from award-wining writer-director Liz Crow, whose previous work has been shown at Tate Modern and the British Film Institute and who recently made a controversial appearance on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of sculptor Antony Gormley’s One & Other project.
