'It's Not Fair'

Written & directed by Jim Rymer

Running from October 2009

This original fast paced comedy aims to educate young people about the Importance of democracy. Commissioned by Breckland council with the support of Norfolk’s Children’s Services and written for years 9-11, this piece fits into the citizenship curriculum and offers a contemporary look at issues affecting young people today .

We follow Gilly a kid from a housing estate on a mission to find who covered a wall, with graffiti about her. We travel from Ancient Greece to modern Europe, and learn how buying a cheap shirt is a global concern and how it all ties up with world politics. But is this any of her responsibility? She hasn’t even got the right to vote. So why should she care?

As we journey with her we begin to understand the role that democracy plays in all aspects of our lives and the ways in which we, like Gilly can get involved and have our voice heard.

Running time: approx 50 minutes.
