Raising awareness of County Lines in Essex

A new hard-hitting short film filmed in Essex wants to educate the public on the dangers of County Lines drug gangs. The film tells how drug deals are seen on the way home from school and how young people are used to move drugs around the county, exploited, coerced and groomed by gangs. While the visuals are dramatized, the voiceover is the unedited, unfiltered words, language and stories of Essex young people, some of whom feature in the film.
