After seven years as a part-time lecturer in special needs education, he formed Coyote Films in 1998. His films prioritise the participation of children, and for 10 years he has worked on video projects in schools, in collaboration with various London arts organisations. These include Safe (winner of LWTs Whose London? competition and broadcast in 2002), Moving Here (awarded beacon status in 2006 by the Home Office) and Only Human (an anti-racism resource made in 2006 for Essex primary schools and now available to view on Teachers TV).  It was observation in schools and the making of Only Human that led directly to an urgent concern to examine anti-racist policy and the regulation of school life.  This resulted in a report titled The Myth of Racist Kids published by The Manifesto Club in October 2009.

Hart has lived and worked in Bethnal Green and Stratford since 1984, and he was an activist in late 1980s/early 1990s East End anti-racism campaigns. Now living in Brighton, Hart will soon begin production on a television documentary about twenty-first century children and the end of ‘race’.
