Good morning.

Here's a wee clip from Endangered, a short film recently created by young participants of Film Town, our community filmmaking project. Emphasis, here today, on community: and communities.

The film concludes with a hopeful claim that we can change our future.

@sesscouts We're excited to say that 'Plastic Bottle', and the other fab films produced by our Jedburgh and Hawick groups, will be available online after they premiere at a special @alchemyfilmarts event later this month. So watch this space 👀🎬🎥

[South East Scotland Scouts @sesscouts]

Congratulations Jedburgh Scouts. Your film deserves a wider showing to make people think about what happens to their plastic bottles

[Scottish Borders Scouts @BordersScouts]

@7thBScouts @alchemyfilmarts Thanks for the good review! 'Plastic Bottle', and other fab films from our Jedburgh and Hawick groups, will be available online after the official @alchemyfilmarts premiere on the 18th December. So watch this space 👀

[Scottish Borders Scouts @BordersScouts]

Jedburgh Scout Group did a great job at the Scottish Parliament. Their short film about a plastic bottle was screened to highlight #AMillionHands. Big thanks to @alchemyfilmarts for helping us create such a thought provoking reminder of the damning effects of plastic pollution.
