Abstract	"Re:Tension" is a short 20 minute film that follows Thapelo, a bright and capable university student, on a day where he is unwittingly forced to question the judgements of his tutors and peers, and delve deeper into his own actions, choices and beliefs. "Re:Tension" addresses the topic of institutional racism and the gap in student retention amongst BAME (Black, Asian and Minority, Ethnic) students within British universities. The film was inspired by analysing statistical data that highlighted the unexplained dropout rate of BAME students as well as attempting to provide real insights into unconscious racial harassment within the higher education system and micro-aggressions that often go unnoticed. To accompany the film, a toolkit, developed by Senior Teaching Fellow Syra Shakir in collaboration with Ricardo Barker, uses the film and the aftermath debate to openly challenge racism and discrimination. It encourages group discussion around accountability and responsibility, this journal hopes to describe how this work has been adapted to bring these challenges to the attention of degree apprentices at Leeds Trinity University, with the aim that it will empower them to challenge such inappropriate behaviour within their workplace and take positive action.
