BBC Children in Need funded project Twin Vision has won Best Documentary Film at the 2013 First Light Film Awards in London.
The documentary is called Echoes of Substance Misuse
Their film called Echoes of Substance Misuse won Best Documentary Film and was chosen because of its honest portrayal of substance misuse.
One of the judges was TV presenter Dawn Porter. Talking about the documentary, she said: "It showed great maturity in tackling such a serious issue. The film tackles the issue head on, never skirting around the topic. A very powerful and informative piece… a film and a message that needs to be told. I believe other young people would greatly benefit from seeing this film".
Twin Vision worked with young people from across Liverpool making sure they treated the sensitive personal stories that developed with respect.
The story is based around local rapper Mike aka Innuendo who fell into a life of drugs and crime before turning his life around and is now a successful music artist. But the film also revealed a wide range of narratives showing the negative effects choosing a life involving drugs can produce.
