Wolvercote Video Project

Read the book!

The Electorate Strikes Back!

This summer, a group of young people at Wolvercote Young People's Club learned new skills and explored democracy issues with a video project.

The brief was to produce a short, dramatic and interesting story about the local youth centres that showed the importance of local elections.

The plot that the group came up with included an evil property developer, an important by-election, bribery, undercover police officers and the brutal kidnap of the local Youth Worker!

Watch the film, meet the characters, and explore its making using the links on the picture.

Technical notes

The film is presented here as a short Quicktime movie (3.71Mb). There is also a VHS version of the film, including bloopers, a short "making of" and a young person interviewing some of the workers involved. If you're interested in seeing this, please contact Wolvercote Young People's Club.
