Big Screen Science: The Perry Pigger Show
Produced by secondary school students, this Teachers TV resource contains an animated film that tackles the complex subject of xenotransplantation using the format of a popular chat show hosted by a pig named Perry Pigger.
The resource describes how the film was developed and made by Year Nine girls from Manchester's Abraham Moss School, aided by a professional animator and a scientist. The resulting film proves just how successful the collaboration between science and filmmaking can be.
The video can be used to stimulate debate about the applications and implications of science.
