A team of Bradford pupils has been awarded funding to make a film to highlight a problem that blights the community.
Five 12-year-olds at Laisterdyke Business and Enterprise College, in Thornbury Road, have received £1,000 after pitching a storyboard for their film about littering.
The pupils, who collectively go by the name On The Right Track, submitted their idea to the Big Voice competition run by BT.
Filming will get under way early in the autumn with professional production support and help from Unltd, a charity which helps people turn their ideas into a community project.
The film will be one of a series shown on big screens around the country next spring in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympics.
The film idea was devised by Laisterdyke pupils Iqra Zahoor, Zainab Hamid, Hadiya Khan, Ikra Zoya and Sidrah Bibi. It will use drama to tell the story of two girls from different cultures, with one teaching the other the importance of keeping the streets clean for the good of the community.
