haha.  I'm sure someone can put forward something here...
Unlikely to be exactly what they are looking for, but could still be 
worthwhile if the video can be used elsewhere for other purposes. :)

AG Youth Network:

1.   The Attorney General’s Youth Network is building on the success of 
partnerships that have worked well, encouraging understanding and 
respect for the rule of law, and contributing to citizenship education, 
including increasing understanding of the justice system and of an 
individual’s rights and responsibilities.

2.  A competition is being launched to encourage young people to explore 
issues on citizenship and the rule of law. The competition and 
development of an Attorney General’s Youth Advisory Council, as part of 
the Youth Network activities, is designed to involve young people aged 
14-18 in the processes of government and law. Through the Attorney 
general's Youth Advisory Council, young people will be encouraged to 
share an open dialogue to discuss opinions/ideas on relevant matters 
within the state and their local communities.

3. The competition closes at midnight on 16th September.  A panel will 
select up to 30 top entries selected, the winning entrants will be 
invited to become members of the Attorney General's Youth Advisory 
Council. The first meeting of the Youth Advisory Council will be held by 
November, and those selected will be announced on the 22nd September at 
a launch event in London. The top three entries will receive an Attorney 
General award. This is the chance to be recognised and to make a real 
difference. The Attorney General will write to those selected for the 
Attorney General Youth Advisory Council, their head teachers and local 
MP's congratulating them on their achievement.

4.  Please note that if you are short listed for the top entries your 
entry may be featured on the website or other publicised material.
