Simon decided to record Barry delivering a monologue exploring US imperialism and the project for the new American century. This speech became the focal point around which animation was constructed. "what Barry says" is very much a response to Simon witnessing his peer's apparent lack of interest in the anti-war marchers between the attack on Afghanistan and the second gulf war. Many young Londoners seemed to feel that they could do nothing to stop the attack on Iraq, so why bother

Wanja is a documentary about “the Block”, through the eyes of Auntie Barb and the life of Wanja, her blue heeler dog, recently deceased. The community on the Block's many and varied stories of Wanja reflect on the issues affecting this indigenous community in the heart of Sydney. Auntie Barb is an elder of Redfern's community: Wanja was an integral part of the community, known to all for her ability to sniff out the police -in uniform and undercover- “the Block's guardian angel”. Through Wanja, Aunty Barb and the community's memories of this tenacious, loyal, smart and loving dog tell of the early days on the Block when there were elders and families, good housing and a strong sense of community. The stories of Wanja tell us how the tension between the community and police escalated, why the housing has continued to deteriorate and largely been demolished, and why the strength of the community - it's elders, moved on. Aunty Barb was one of the last elders forced off the Block. In spite of this, Aunty Barb continues to call the Block her community and home.

An extraordinary ethnographic document of the modifications made by the residents of the Trobriand Islands, in Papua New Guinea, to the traditional British game of cricket. In response to colonialism the islanders have changed the game into an outlet for mock warfare, community interchange, tribal rivalry, sexual innuendo and a lot of riotous fun. Intercut sequences explaining traditional cricket indicate how much the game has been altered; historical footage and commentary review the history of British colonialism in the area. This is not a glimpse of a disappearing culture, but a piece of propaganda by indigenous Trobrianders in favour of their national game which, with good reason, they consider to be far superior to the English "rubbish" from which it was derived.
