Adrian Hart is an award winning community film-maker and founder of Coyote Films.He is a lecturer to special needs students, an author and an anti-racism campaigner. Adrian Hart's film work includes: 'Safe' (winner LWTs Whose London? 2002), Moving Here' (awarded beacon status 2006) and 'Only Human' (2006 broadcast on Teachers TV in 2009).

Adrian Hart's latest publication 'The Myth of Racist Kids' uses his own experience with his ongoing work in primary schools (and observing one too many diversity workshops) as a spring-board for exposing what passes for anti-racism. Hart’s investigation shows how teachers are under government pressure to search out and report ‘racist’ behaviour that isn't there and how primary school children are being reported to the authorities for petty playground squabbles and everyday banter. It's a prescription for victimhood as anything, anyone 'feels' might be racist gets reported and cynically used to create a 'Myth of Racist Kids'... and government policy is their only saviour.

Currently Hart is working on a film project with African Caribbean boys at Forest Hill School in south London and the commissioning of a TV documentary for 'The Myth of Racist Kids'.
