An inspiring Whangarei teen has captured hearts in the award-winning short film Trent.
Trent Reyburn's journey to raise awareness for World Vision and the 40 Hour Famine is the subject of Gareth Mauchline's short documentary that has won the open category in the Inspiring Stories film competition.
The theme for this year's competition was "Young Kiwis Making a Difference".
Trent, 15, organised and choreographed a street performance by members of Northland Youth Theatre that spread the message of poverty in third world countries, to try to encourage people to sign up for the 40 Hour Famine.
Trent has been a long-time supporter of the 40 Hour Famine.
