Called Watch Over Me, the film has been produced in memory of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen. Mizen was murdered by 19-year-old Jake Fahri, who threw a glass tray at him at a bakery, which severed an artery in his neck.
A spokeswoman for Kids Taskforce explains that the film contains 10 episodes. Issues covered include gang culture, arson and extremism. The film will be distributed in time for the next academic year, she added.
