Trailer: We are the people we've been waiting for

Trailer for Lord Puttnam's new film about education. Originally uploaded for a blog post at jamescross.org.uk, please note that I'm in no way connected with the film - all I've done is cut it out of a YouTube video that already existed for a blog post.

We Are The People We've Been Waiting For is a full-length feature film on education which was inspired and guided by Oscar-winning producer Lord Puttnam. The film is supported by various sponsors including independent education foundation, Edge. The film follows the experiences of five Swindon-based teenagers. What unfolds during the course of the film is a very inconvenient truth about education. It concludes that, while there are signs of spring, a transformation of the education system is vital if the UK is to continue to compete effectively in an era of globalization the world has changed enormously but our education system has not kept pace. We need to recognise that there are many paths to success for young people and provide the right support and opportunities for them to develop their individual talents.

I really like the Song from Amy Macdonald - Youth of today. It really is perfect for this Trailer.

Good effort,well edited, well thought out and put together,cracking song choice and personally I think Sir Ken Robinson should be education minister and just maybe the youth of today might just stand a chance of what the future brings them.Lets just hope people heed this advice, stop and think,,stop burning up the planet we live on and breathing in the fumes of that process of greed !!
