Street Doctors : The Fatal Question

At a time when knife crime has surged 81% over the past decade, ‘The Fatal Question’ tackles the chilling belief among young people that you can stab someone without risking their life.

Teenagers were invited to test this theory on a life-sized sculpture, set up in a secondary school, only to be confronted with powerful projections of real stories showing how single wounds to those “safe” areas had killed. The shock of those stories, told through the voices of news reports and family members, forces young people to face the realities of knife crime.

The installation - including the sculpture and projections - were developed specifically for the project. And the film will be touring schools, clubs and colleges around the UK.

“These are difficult conversations, but they matter. If one young person walks away thinking twice, questioning what they thought they knew, then we’ve done something important.”
