Get Up Stand Up is a 17 minute documentary about the Malcolm X elders going to a nursing home in Lawrence Weston to get the elders there on their feet and dancing! I have copies of the video which was shown at M shed, The Millennium Square and viewings at Malcolm X and St Werburghs Community Centre.

The film was curated by LinkAge and made by Tom Stubbs from Biggerhouse Film and shows the power of cultural singing and dancing for older people to enhance physical and emotional well being. More information about the project is available here on Linkage website.
