Funding: The Drug & Alcohol Action Team's Innovation Fund gave the project a 2,500 grant
Goals: The project aims to use the film-making process to explore the issues surrounding drug and alcohol use, and produce a film that will raise awareness in West Sussex of Moroccan culture

Pandora Ellis, youth cabinet co-ordinator at West Sussex Youth Parliament, says: "We did some outreach work with young people in the Moroccan community as part of an effort to get young people without a voice involved in the youth parliament. We met one group of about 50 or 60 young people in Crawley who met on a Sunday to learn about Muslim teachings. They were so vibrant that I wanted to make a film with them."
