Divided Manchester

Synopsis
This film is a journey through one of Britain’s most challenging cities: Manchester. Two sociologists Linda Janes and Gerry Mooney use the new Metrolink Tram to take them around the city, meeting people as they go who can answer the question of how ‘place’ can determine our chances in life. How do the people of Manchester see their lives in a city which is gearing itself up for its biggest international splash yet - the Commonwealth Games of 2002.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
