About your film

It's not fair that some people have so much, while others live in poverty and have very little. We want you to make a film about poverty and why we should gang up on it! If possible, get your film to mention the Global Gang web site, so that children watching it will visit the site and find out how they can make a difference. But you won't lose marks if your clip doesn't mention the site. You can create a film on your own, or with friends, or as a school class. You must be aged between seven and 14 to enter. The best three films will be posted on the Global Gang site in the summer, and you can vote for the overall winner.Download the ENTRY FORM from the toolbox on this page 

Your films MUST be

A maximum of three minutes long. Burned onto DVD. Posted with the entry form signed by a parent, guardian or teacher to: Global Gang, Christian Aid, PO Box 100, London, SE1 7RT. We must receive all entries by the end of July 2008.

Films CAN be

A mock news report, a video of your band singing about poverty, an interview with your MP, a documentary about your fundraising or campaigning… it's up to you!.
