Generation Gifted

Year 9 is the beginning of the most important time in a teenager's school life. GCSE preparation begins but for the three bright girls in this film there is added pressure. Much of their journey is about confidence. In Port Talbot, top tier student Ann Marie knows she wants to go to university, but suffers from anxiety around her exams. Meanwhile in Tamworth Shakira's school recognises that she's a talented artist. Confidence is less of an issue for Birmingham based aspiring paediatrician Jada.
