Annotation	There is little material about how independent advocacy draws directly on the experiences of people who use it. In 2006, the Older People's Advocacy Alliance (OPAAL) began talking to older users, with the aim of establishing a user network to improve awareness of advocacy. This DVD comprises interviews and focus groups carried out (mostly in London with Kilburn Older Voices Exchange, KOVE), by Mel Wright. The project has been funded by the Big Lottery and Help the Aged, and the material was directed and produced by Acting Up. A small pamphlet provides background to the project and an introduction to the work of OPAAL (UK). (RH).
