‘Sophie’s Story’ wins an award Sophie's Story won an award at the International Family Film Festival in Los Angeles this year. Launched in November 2006 Minister of Education Hon. Steve Maharey was at the Manukau Council on 29th November to launch Sophie’s Story, a 20-minute drama for young people about the dangers of P (or metamphetamine). Other speakers at this well-attended first screening included Sir Barry Curtis, the Mayor of Manukau City, and Greg O’Connor, President of the NZ Police Association. Shirley Horrocks, director and producer of Sophie’s Story, said at the launch: “Point of View has a special interest in health education for young people, and one of the things that research has shown us very clearly is that young people do not respond to a ‘big stick’ approach or to being preached at. The best way to reach them is to have a strong story to tell, and to dramatise it in ways they find relevant.’ This challenge was met by script-writer Dianne Taylor, and a strong production team (including director of photography Leon Narbey), and committed actors (such as Xavier Horan as Alex and Troy Garten as Sophie). The DVD is now being made available to high schools and community groups throughout New Zealand. It is accompanied by a 28-page ‘study guide’ that includes general background information and detailed lesson plans for Health Education, Media Studies and English.
