Webber school story
Your life is in your hands
We are at a sleepover. One of the friends can't sleep and get up in the early hours. The night before she had revealed to her friends that she wants a career in dancing, she wants it so strongly, but having started classes, the other students had already been doing for a number of years before and she felt inferior and was about to give up.
While her friends are sleeping she wakes up around 5am and goes out into the garden.
She, by chance, digs out a book from the ground in the garden (we film a silhoutte of her with the book as she returns to the tent)
On return she finds her friend awake and shows them the discovery.
The girl who lives there declares OMG, that's the book that my grandmother told me about.
"what's it about?"
"this is what she told me"
She recounts a story that her Grandmother back in the 1930s found the book. Her grandmother lived in a period when an alien force had taken control of people's minds.
Through the book she began to realise what was really going on, that they had, in effect been hynotised by this alien force into being their servants. She realised she had to do something about it. She had to wake the population up to what was really going on. Only then would they break away from the shackles of their mental imprisonment.
