Still one of Britain’s leading alternative video organisations, Undercurrents made history in the 1990s when they launched their uncompromising and badly needed alternative news service. Dubbed ‘the news you don’t see on the news’, their video magazines covered everything the mainstream media wouldn’t dare to touch, from the burgeoning direct-action movement in the UK to stories of injustice and resistance across the world. Now based in Swansea, Undercurrents continue to use video to inspire environmental justice and social change. Paul O’Connor, one of the founders of Undercurrents, tells their story.
