Ali's Story
After producing a short film about their everyday lives as part of a film exchange, children from Mansouria School
decided that they would like to venture into the world of drama and have just produced a short drama (January 2008) that
follows Ali, a young boy, and his decision making of whether to go back to school or not.
The piece highlights some
issues of why young people may not go to school and what influence friends can potentially have.
Ali's Story is completely scripted, directed and filmed by 22 young people between 10–11 years old who attend
Mansouria School.
