When I Grow Up

Writer: Tracy Harris 
Director: Paul Jenkins

Based on real conversations with 11 year olds, When I Grow Up explores the gap between the aspirations of 11 year olds, those just beginning on their journey into adulthood (via adolescence) and those imprisoned by it in middle age. When I Grow Up reveals the thoughts, beliefs and aspirations of children on the brink of leaving primary school, contrasted with those of adults.
