Katya Stiller, Video Development Worker for Valley and Vale Community Arts explains the inspiration behind Jasmine:

The film is about a young girl living within two cultures and trying to find her place.

The story is based on the experience of one of the girls in the group. Her friends were always going out in town or to the cinema, but she was never allowed to join them because of her family.

One day, she decided to rebel and join her friends in town. She stayed out late knowing that this might be her only chance to experience the freedom the other girls always talked about.

Like Jasmine, she knew it would worry her family, and that there would be consequences, but she still made the conscious decision to do it.

Many of the girls in the group are new to this country and are learning English as a second language. Dance is what brought the girls together initially, and it enables them to communicate and be together without language.

The filming of the rap scene in the back lane was one of the most memorable and took forever. The girls started laughing as soon as we got going. They don't have a musical background and they found it strange rapping and trying to look cool at the same time. Nasradine (the boy) tried to look hard, and that made the girls laugh even louder.

Leija is the rapper and she did a fabulous job stepping in at the last minute, even though she spoke the least English in the group. When she finished, everyone applauded.

Jasmine was facilitated and produced by Valley and Vale Community Arts in partnership with Willows High School, and was supported by First Light Movies.
