This text introduces the Unity Gym Project (UGP) Podumentary (a portmanteau of 'documentary' and 'podcast'). The UGP Podumentary is a youth-led output, generated as part of an ongoing university-community partnership in the North of England. The episode presented here profiles the work of JENGbA (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association), a grassroots campaign established to challenge the legal doctrine of Joint Enterprise. This work is part of an ongoing anti-racist project, which seeks platform 'counter-stories' of resistance, vulnerability, and success, associated with community activism. Our accompanying text briefly situates the project, before offering an account of our collaborative process, which repurposed a model of small project supervision, beyond the university. Through this creative output, and our accompanying text, we provide an example of counter-storytelling that extends contemporary discussions of university-community partnership and anti-racist civic action
