We’re very proud to have researched and created Thrown Away; a short film showing the impact that throwing bricks and rocks at buses has on passengers, drivers, and communities.

Working with young people guided us towards making something very hard-hitting. It also acknowledges risk taking behaviours, peer influences, and other issues affecting young people as anti-social behaviour is so nuanced. It’s no good “telling the young audience off” for something most of them would never do anyway! All part of a prevention strategy for young people at risk of such behaviours.

Following a successful pilot in schools, it will be rolled out locally accompanied by a suggested lesson plan and activities, with a wider public launch planned for early Autumn.
