Sammie Kids


After reading Sam's blog about the video kids, I am inclined to agree about the shock value of the film. Maybe that is what the director was aiming for to try and get adults, especially parents, thinking about what the kids are getting upto.
I was amazed the actors parents allowed them to partake in such a controversial film, but if the film at least help save one or two kids the message has got across. I think the way they portrayed the HIV issue was good, this showed kids that it only takes the once, so hopefully condom sales went up!!
In todays society I think we pander more to the kids instead of making a stand and stopping the wayward behaviour, asbos were a great idea, but maybe we need to look at finding things to interest the youth, instead of just waiting for the bad to happen
