Panasonic Kid Witness News is a bottom-up video and life skills programme empowering secondary level students in five continents. 'Bottom-up' means that the students are in control of their own creative process and have full responsibility for and ownership of the end product.
The only Scottish pupils to take part in this competition: Caitlin Wright, Saimah Uddin, Owen McHugh, Eilidh Munro, Rhona Taylor, Becky Cole, Andrew Waddell and Janina Calder-Petrie have successfully completed their documentary on Knife Crime.
This thought-provoking and moving film concerns knife crime and highlights its devastating effects on lives - both on victims, perpetrators and families. The main message being communicated is that despite knife crime being illegal it is a more common problem than some might think and that its effects can shatter lives and leave scars deeper than the skin.
Bringing awareness on the subject and endeavoring to confirm that this crime must be, if not completely stopped, significantly reduced.
The documentary can be viewed below...
