Sir David Amess UK Children's Parliament 2025
In the historic chambers of Westminster, the Sir David Amess UK Children’s Parliament gathers to debate a pressing global issue: the exploitation of animals in the tourism industry. Guided by passion and conviction, young British “MPs” step into roles of leadership, questioning experts and challenging government inaction on the groundbreaking Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act. Their voices, filled with urgency and compassion, echo the struggles of elephants, dolphins, primates, and countless others subjected to cruelty for entertainment. Blending youthful idealism with serious political process, the film captures a rare moment where the leaders of tomorrow demand justice today, proving that even the smallest voices can carry the greatest weight.
