Angry young to air views on murder

A group of young people from London are to make a film expressing their anger at being ignored after one of their peers was murdered.

Billy Cox, 15, was shot at home on the Fenwick Estate in Clapham in February this year. Many of the other young people from the estate felt the no one listened to them after the killing.

Now they are getting a chance to tell their stories, through a project run by Big Up Films, with £13,500 from the government's £6m Mediabox fund.
