Pupils across Leeds are being educated on the impact of knife crime through a hard-hitting documentary.

Total Insight Theatre, an award-winning arts charity, has created the 20-minute film using real-life stories which highlight the devastating consequences of carrying a knife.

The film is being delivered across secondary schools, pupil referral units and youth centres across the city, followed by an interactive session.

Actors deliver the stories using the same tone, emotion and pauses as the real victims and their families, from a young teenager recovering in hospital to a mum who lost her son in a knife attack.
