A film for teenagers about the risks associated with drinking alcohol whilst pregnant

This film is born out of the frustration of witnessing the rhetoric that has demonised those that are poor in the UK. The Dole Animators are a group of out of work claimants, who wanted to speak up and tell us all what it is really like to live in Poverty in the UK. A collaboration with the Dole Animators, Dr Ruth Patrick and Leeds University.

Ellie was lucky enough to travel to Uganda to make this short film. Working with a group of young people in the region of Karamoja, talented puppet maker Jez Hunt and 2D cut out animator Daniella Orsini the team together made this impactful film that talks about the problem of gender based violence.
