Young people reveal their personal experiences of the Olympics through film

A group of young people are getting behind the camera as they create a film about their personal experience of the Olympic Games.

The secondary school pupils are taking part in the creative five-day project called, Going For Gold, at the Arc Theatre last week.

They were asked to produce a short film which show-cased what the Olympics meant to them.

The film, which includes drama, poetry and music, will be screened to family and friends tomorrow and will form part of the up-coming Molton Festival.

Arc Education director Natalie Smith said: “It’s been going really well so far and they young people are picking up new skills and really enjoying themselves. It’s great that the film will be in the Molton Festival.”

The free workshop was part of the council’s Summer’s Sorted activity programme.
