Summary

A film to highlight and shine a light on the fact that poor treatment of older people in care homes is an abuse of their human rights.

Creative

We produced an engaging, thought-provoking and shareable film which tells the story of one man’s life, starting in the care home where he is being ignored, all the way back to childhood. The aim was to visually highlight that these are people who have lived lives just like you and I, encouraging empathy in the audience.
