No wonder the making of the film caused a <a href="http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/1317/">little controversy</a> among those same (male) community leaders in Brick Lane. </p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/5050/grit_in_the_oyster" class="read-more" title="Read the rest of this posting.">Read the rest of this post...</a><p><a href="http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/5050/grit_in_the_oyster">read more</a></p> http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/5050/grit_in_the_oyster#comment 16 days against gender violence brick lane movies Patricia Daniel 5050 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:05:20 +0000 35221 at http://www.opendemocracy.net
