By Olivia.Flint
Created 10/07/2009 - 23:23

Writer and Director: Ben Newman
Mentor: Aoife McArdle
Music: Shy Child and Chipmunk

Opting for a short based around war + peace, Ben Newman came up with one of the most popular entries, gaining praise across the board by re-creating a military training camp for child soldiers in a British school. It was described by Riz Ahmed as a great idea, simple, communicating a direct message. The teacher at the beginning is played by Kate Ashfield from Shaun of the Dead.

Take Action [1] by buying a football which donates money to The Coalition to Stop the use of Child Soldiers.
