Charlie Dark performs his poem, 'Airborne'

Charlie Dark leads a group of children in a performance of one of his poems, 'Airborne', about a young break dancer. We then see Charlie in conversation with the actor and comedian Griff Rhys Jones, talking about how he first started writing as a response to being bullied at school. A teacher had given him a notebook to write down his feelings and in doing so he discovered his talent for expression.
