When the the G8 World Leaders came to Scotland in July 2005, seasoned activists and concerned individuals were ready for them. Prepared to take to the streets, and make their demands heard vocally, they gave the eight global leaders at Gleneagles the welcome they deserved! A fundamental element of this movement was the work and views of young people, and this film documents the journey of many of them who had been involved in the anti- War school strikes of 2003 which produced the award winning documentary Old Enough To Know Better.
