Children on Trial background

Children on Trial

Documentary dealing with the work of Approved Schools for child delinquents.

This film was produced by the British government's Crown Film Unit, and aimed to "publicise the justice system's efforts to rehabilitate young offenders." Not pure documentary, the film dramatizes a real life event using the actual participants as actors, and follows the successful reformation of two teen criminals after their journey through the state rehabilitation system.
