County Lines film shortlisted for television award

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony at The ICC on Friday 24th November.

Which side of the Tracks? was commissioned by Worcester Cathedral, The Clewer Initiative, the Diocese of Worcester’s Mothers’ Union and Worcester Community Rail Partnership to help raise awareness of county lines. It was filmed around Worcester and featured a young person who you wouldn’t expect to be drawn into county lines.

West Midlands based film maker, Nicola Prestage of Tiger Features, worked closely with the police and a county lines trainer from The Clewer Initiative to ensure the film was accurate and realistic.

The film was showcased at Worcester Cathedral's County Lines Day in March where 80 young people from the Worcester area gathered to learn more about county lines. Since then, the film has continued to be used to raise awareness and challenge stereotypes.

Which side of the Tracks? is nominated for the Creative Community Award alongside The Longwill Show, a film that was made for Longwill Primary School for the Deaf.
