This Into Film resource was written by Teach First teachers, for the BFI's Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder blockbuster season. The resource contains synopses, clips from the film Attack the Block, discussion ideas, UK-wide cross-curricular links and a range of activities. Students will discuss the issues surrounding how young people are portrayed in the media.
