Event Name: |
'Burn' - Wollongong Screening |
| Event Description: | Burn follows the story of 16-year-old Tee, whose life is thrown into chaos when a late-night drive with older boys erupts into violence. This gritty crime drama was improvised by the young cast and shows how high-risk group behaviour can quickly spin out of control. Legal Aid NSW represents tens of thousands of young people charged with offences in the Children's Court each year. Often young people are charged with offences that were instigated by somebody else, that they didn't set out to commit and that they just went along with. It is often assumed that crimes like rolling a guy for his phone are not serious. This short film explores how the law works in complex group situation and demonstrates serious consequences of criminal activity. |
