Pupils’ anti-bullying film hits big screen

When pupils at a Bedfordshire school planned their script for an anti-bullying film they never imagined the finished product would be seen by cinema-goers across the country.

Students at Sharnbrook Upper School heard earlier this month that Voices, their powerful one-minute film, had won first prize in Good Morning Britain’s Action! Against Bullying competition.

Much to their astonishment, presenter Charlotte Hawkins announced their victory on live television. Her visit to the school had been arranged in advance but pupils had no idea that they had actually won the national competition.

The film, which took a week to make, had a private red carpet premiere at the Odeon in London’s Leicester Square on Saturday (November 14). It will be shown in Odeon cinemas throughout the UK from tomorrow (Friday, November 20).
