Pipe Up

This urban music style short film, set in a careers lesson, highlights the issues associated to gender discrimination. Beth is a young girl, who voices her ambition to become a plumber, only to be dismissed by her teacher and heckled by her peers. In Beth's imagination, gender stereotypes are reversed to highlight the absurdity of these labels.
Written and directed by Adam Barnard for Company of Angels. Lyrics: VeeDoubleE. Composer: Jay Enticknap. Starring Veronica Youdell and Robert Benfield. Produced on behalf of the Equality and Human Rights Commission by Company of Angels in association with Kids Connections, Islington Community Theatre and London Urban Collective.

Judging from this video I think singer, producer, and movie star are all within each of your near future. It has great theme, good acting and singing. But of course being a plumber …….??? What a dream!

It's brilliant!! Well done everybody :-)) Vee
