The three-part documentary film series will be on its educational Learn and Discover platform, which supports learning in beer, cider, perry and pubs through online content.
CAMRA is partnering with Plunkett UK to highlight the challenges faced by local campaigning groups in buying their local community pub.
The consumer organisation said it hopes the documentary will encourage people to see community ownership as a viable and accessible option.
CAMRA campaigns and communications manager for Learn and Discover Alex Metcalfe said: “Following the success of CAMRA’s award-winning documentary, Desi: A Pub Story, I cannot wait for the next addition to the exciting library of Learn and Discover content.
Social hubs
“Pubs are more than a place to enjoy cask beer and real cider and perry, they are social hubs for the local community, bringing people together to help tackle loneliness and social isolation.
“In many areas, pubs provide the last remaining public communal space, allowing friends and families to meet and feel part of a greater community.”
He added: “With a huge catalogue of entertaining videos, engaging articles and audio clips about beer, cider and perry plus the pubs and clubs which serve them, CAMRA’s award-winning educational platform Learn and Discover is the perfect place for this new project.”
Spotlight
Plunkett UK chief executive James Alcock added: “As a national charity supporting people in rural areas to set up and run a wide range of businesses in community ownership, Plunkett UK is delighted to be partnering with CAMRA on this important documentary series that highlights the important role community pubs play.
“The films will shine a spotlight on businesses based across the country that are part of our membership network.”
The film’s production team includes Katie Greenhalf (pictured left), This Film and Rachel Auty (right), Cameron Rae Consultancy and founder of Women On Tap CIC, who have documented the highs and lows of groups who have saved and now run the Traveller’s Rest in Skeeby, North Yorkshire, the Antwerp Arms in Tottenham, London and Yr Heliwr in Nefyn, Wales.
