Really great film Brett. I liked the way you gave a camera to the kids on the bus. I love participatory filmmaking so that was a nice reminder of how it can be done.

Bloody wonderful.

Having lost both my mum and my grandma now, this really hit me. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this Brett.

Brett, you're a beautiful film maker and a beautiful person 🥰

What a beautiful gift for your mum and nan. The joy on both of their faces and the spark in your nans eyes as they spoke about family and friends in the memory book you made is just beautiful. It's a gift of connection and love. The book is very well thought out too. I think you gave them the most precious gift. Thanks for sharing this with us, Brett. (I used to work at Foto Processing quite a few years ago. I've got so many of those photo envelopes.)

I'm so glad I found your video, it has been beautifully made. What a wonderful, thoughtful gift you gave to your mum and grandmother. Sending kind wishes to you and your family from Oz.

Hi :) I don't know you or your family but I do know cinema, and this is it! Magical camera work, beautiful lighting and shot composition, even just in your thumbnail which is what caught my eye to click this video. I did NOT expect to cry over the raw vulnerability of a family of strangers today but cry I did. This is such a beautiful thing to have done for your mother and grandmother, and for yourself too. Humanity and connection is what makes cinema in my opinion, so despite this film being only a few minutes long, it's also infinite. Well done!

Closure helps so much in healing.

❤❤❤❤❤😊

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautifully done, my friend. Love it!

SlungLow is the best🫠❤

Love this; love Slung Low; y'all made me cry!

brettinthecity, This is amazing! I can't stop smiling!

I could watch Angus Imrie all day, definitely my Prince Charming 😍

How could she resist this cute face ?! 😊

Awwwww. Very cute, and a lot of story in a short time without ever feeling heavy. Well done!

Nice non-showreel !

Beautiful stuff, mate.

Your docs are so enjoyable to view.

Such a great doc. The fight was worth it. There’s emotions and we get attached to the characters not only for what they’re fighting for but also because of the way they’ve filmed. I hope the University gets more students subscriptions and change their mind. Thank you for sharing it with us. Ps: interviews lighting is 👌🏾

Great job Brett!

Finally found it . I’ve been looking for this video quite awhile.

Amazing work, very moving. My admiration for the Archaeology professors, especially Umberto, of course, the staff and the students who created such a strong, united community.

Wonderful film, the strength of emotion that people feel for the department and understanding the past and the development of knowledge is clear. Sheffield is such a great department and as you say in the film it is a family.

Aloha, thank you for sharing an inspiring video. Whatever happens, Professor Umberto Albarella, colleagues, students, and supporters should be proud of what they accomplished and all of their efforts in this fight. Keep up the good work!

I agree universities should be filled with communities of like minded folk who work together and support each other. Sadly I have been made aware recently in my own institution that with internal resources being offered unfairly such "families" quickly dissolve as people look after themselves.

beautifully filmed :) keep up the fight

Andrew Smith asked me to post this comment on his behalf "It is becoming increasingly obvious that almost all universities are no longer interested in education, in its broadest sense, but have become businesses which need to measure success in monetary terms rather than in the value to society at large of the graduates who go out through their doors"

Thank you for this amazing documentary. Umberto (and all the others), thank you for your fantastic and inspiring words!

A very moving film, showing the human face of everyone involved. It would be a travesty to lose it all! Keep up the fight 💪🏽

A beautifully made film that not only draws attention to the value of the department as a resource, but its human face. The closure of the department will scar the reputation of the University of Sheffield permanently, and brings higher education in Britain generally into disrepute.

I had the privilege of having my master's at Sheffield. It was the best year of my student life. I could tell without a doubt that the department at Sheffield was one of the strongest departments in the field of archaeology; The staff's commitment and focus on student learning were outstanding, and the osteological reference collection was set up in the best and most practical way. Now that I'm on my PhD, I can see I had a great school and got the best training in Sheffield. I have been studying at different universities as an international student, but this department is the only one where I felt like family surrounded me. The atmosphere Umberto and his team created were so supportive and healing. I remember we had many events together, which made this bond among peers, PhD students and teachers, and we still keep in touch even after graduation 🎓. My heart was broken when I heard this news. As Umberto said, “History will prove we were right”. The documentary is beautiful, and even if the occasion wasn't the happiest, I am happy to see people I know and haven't seen for a long time. 🤗 hello from Aiya #savesheffieldarchaeology

I'm one of the #ArchaeologistsMadeInSheffield and my time spent there with Umberto and other members of the team was absolute crucial for me as a person and a scientist. Everything they're mentioning in this beautiful short film is true. Beautiful people and amazing scientists. Archaeology still has a place in our society and we need people like Umberto and others you've seen on this video to be it's advocates and representatives.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing your story!

A beautiful and powerful film! Thank you Umberto (and all the others) for fighting the good fight!

I hope you finally win the fight. Education and Science cannot be regulated by the market. This documentary is a beatuful testimony of it. Thank you very much Umberto for leading this fight.

I've seen and been living on this fight for an year now. Really impressed by Prof Umberto's and his colleague's resilience. Please keep this fight up. I'm sorry to see you guys through this frustrating experience. You are good people. You guys deserve much better than this. I'll continue to support you, without any reservations. I promise. I'll remain as a shoulder from overseas, like forever. Wishing every ounce of luck to the Team Sheffield Archaeology!

Umberto is a rare bird. He has, over the last decade or so, set up an amazing centre in Sheffield - now one of Europe's top teaching/research centres in the field of zooarchaeology, a vital part of the study of archaeology. Today many young zooarchaeologists in different parts of the world owe their training and inspiration to Umberto and his lab. It is so sad to see how little respect he and this centre have received from university management. It really is a disgrace. Let us hope that the Sheffield laboratory will survive and flourish. A big congratulations to Umberto and all his great colleagues/students!

Every university in the world should have the same courage and determination against any injustice. Thank you for holding the line in this fight and for being an example for all of us. I look forward to the future of the department and all its staff, students and researchers.

Great documentary, thank you. This is an important fight, thank you Umberto and all for those strong and beautiful words.

keep the fight going!

In our sadness over what has happened and anger at those who so cynically perpetrated it, it is easy to lose sight of what the staff and students of the Department of Archaeology achieved over so many years of hard work. Thanks for reminding us!

I would say a short but intense documentary. I am shivering. Thank you very much. For those who has never been in a work enviroment like the one created in the Department of Archaeology in Sheffield, it may seem like a sweet fantasy and I'm looking for the right words to explain how nice it is to work without feeling the pressure of judgment, competition, mistakes. This behiavour is something huge, that no 'act of cultural vandalism' can take away from us.

Beautiful documentary! As a researcher, I consider my time spent at the Department of Archaeology (University of Sheffield) to be the most significant of my career. Your are amazing researchers, but more importantly, wonderful human beings. Don't let them silence us, let's keep fighting together. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology
