SCHOOLS OUT

It’s 2021, almost 22, and still society is blighted by bigotry in all its ugly forms. Three years ago Latest CIC embarked on a ground breaking project involving three Brighton & Hove Schools, empowering groups of students, to discuss, debate and debunk prejudices.

The results are amazing, these talented young people seized the opportunity to make ground breaking television. They talk about race, gender identity, sexual preference, exclusion, heritage, entertainment, politics and so much more…

And they do it with disarming honesty and with humour, taking issues and turning them on their head with witty comedy spoofs and satirical sketches, sharing family and personal stories and culture and grilling peers and personalities about their experiences.

Most excitingly this is all their own work, their ideas, their thoughts and writing and above all talent. Latest CIC made possible the making of this programme by giving students access to TV studio facilities and technology seldom available in state schools, and the opportunity for their hard work to be screened on network terrestrial television.
