Mind The Gap is a sharp, reflective drama that explores an often-overlooked issue of unconscious bias within higher education.
It follows Daniel, a respected Senior Lecturer, as he navigates a troubling revelation—that his own teaching may be perpetuating inequality. What begins as a defence of his integrity becomes an eye-opening journey, forcing him and those around him to confront the uncomfortable realities lurking beneath the surface of academia.
This is the latest film from Associate Professor Ricardo Barker, a filmmaker known for blending rigorous research with powerful storytelling. Mind The Gap is a collaborative effort co-created with students and staff at Leeds Trinity University, transforming data-driven insights into an accessible, engaging narrative.
