A group of young people from London are to make a film expressing their
anger at being ignored after one of their peers was murdered.
Billy Cox, 15, was shot at home on the Fenwick Estate in Clapham in
February this year. Many of the other young people from the estate felt
the no one listened to them after the killing.
Now they are getting a chance to tell their stories, through a project
run by Big Up Films, with £13,500 from the government's £6m Mediabox fund.
The scheme is one of 25 being supported in the fifth round of Mediabox,
which totals £383,000. The two largest grants from the round, both
around £75,000, have gone to UnLtd, and YCTV Foundation.
