GENERATION GIFTED: THE GIRLS
DIRECTOR/CAMERA
BLAST! FILMS FOR BBC TWO
Three talented year 9 girls from low-income backgrounds face the reality of taking their GCSE’s. In Port Talbot, avid reader and top-tier student Anne-Marie knows she wants to go to university, but she suffers from anxiety around her exams. Meanwhile in Tamworth, Shakira's school recognises that she is a talented artist and tries to help her find her creative voice by pushing her out of her comfort zone.
Confidence is less of an issue for Birmingham-based aspiring paediatrician Jada - her determination to ace her Year 9 exams is pinned on her dream of winning a future place at nearby Sixth Form grammar school. But however determined she and her mum are, money may halt her dream.
