Description
This film was originally made in 1971 and concerns two girls in the 6th form of a London comprehensive school. In the film they describe their relationships with other people and their thoughts abo...ut "who they are" and how they envisage their lives developing. These thoughts are set against the background of the various activities inside and outside of school in which they engage. There is a radio programme which follows this film in which Margaret and Christine reflect on what they said at that time, and what has happened to them since that time.
