    Britains Lost Ballot: A new TV documentary supports call for Votes at 16


    Three passionate young campaigners are to star in a new TV documentary backed by the The Co-operative, and the Votes at 16 coalition,  exploring whether the voting age should be lowered to 16.

    Britains Lost Ballot goes out on Community Channel (available on Sky 539, Virgin TV 233 and Freeview 87) on 24th, 26th and 28th August at 7am, 1pm, 7pm and 1am.

    17-year-old Tyrone is looking to stamp out homophobic bullying in schools. Rowan, 16, is calling for radical changes in the recycling laws, and James, also 16, wants to reverse the negative image of his generation.  

    The half-hour documentary follows the three inspiring campaigners as they meet and lobby people of power and influence to put their campaigns across with impressive results. From persuading journalists to think more about how they represent young people in the media, to acting as police and Government advisers, these young people are not only opinionated and fired up by issues that are important to them, but they are politically engaged, active, and worthy of the vote.

    Get a sneak preview of the documentary below. The Co-operative will also make the full documentary available to watch online from the end of August.

    For more about the documentary and The Co-operative Groups Votes at 16 Campaign.
