MTR is a charitable and not for profit company which was set up in 1998 with the sole purpose of training marginalised young people in video production who wouldn't ordinarily have access to media resources.
| Young people become the artist, user and participant, not just an observer. |

Provides a platform for young people to speak up and demonstrate their life experiences via the medium of film.
Enables young people to discuss/debate issues that effect their lives by producing films from their point of view.

In April 2005 Mouth That Roars opened MTR Studio 23 to bring together young people's creations to the general public and to share their views and opinions with the world, travelling on a journey together through space and time via cinema.
MTR Studio 23 gives the public a unique opportunity to access young people's films and a platform to challenge the perceptions of their lives.

Media has the potential to enable young people to expand and change their world and gain more control of their environment.
