Wake - Up

While the covid pandemic interrupted our cinema premiere, over 200 people joined the online ‘Zoom’ screening - no small feat considering the world had just been plunged into a global lockdown and few of us knew what ‘covid’ let alone ‘zoom’ was . A member of the audience commented that, had we all been together, we would have sold out a cinema venue … testament to the sound of 8 young voices being heard beyond the prison walls. One of the young men is now working in the Film Industry while studying at Film School; a career that, prior to this project, he didn't know would be a path available to him.

Following the screening, WAKE-UP was launched on the Amazon Prime U.K platform and alongside their support, Nathalie has continued to work with the young men to develop the project, create future opportunity and positive impact.

This page is the legacy of the screening in 2020 and the young men’s experience of making their film.
