The film focuses on military activities in schools, including presentations and other visits by the armed forces and the Department for Education’s ‘Military Ethos in Schools’ policy – as well as community cadet forces. It looks at young people’s experiences and views and ask questions about the agenda behind the ‘youth engagement’ policy and the reluctance of the Department for Education and Ministry of Defence to discuss it with young people themselves.

This film will encourage young people to reflect on and debate military-related activities aimed at them.
