Brave

It all started with a question.

At what point do you need to stand out from the crowd, and at what point do you desperately want to blend in?

In this short film Brave a group of 16 to 19 year olds bare their souls with their own creative responses.

Through spoken word, poetry and dance, they make their voices heard and confront the world around them and within them.

It’s personal, it’s political, and it’s brave.

You have to have heart,
to wake up and start,
but I know you understand that,
cause I guess we all deal with that part
– Augustine Shaw, from Brave
