ABOUT THE PROJECT
Written and directed by award-winning Youth Coach, Filmmaker and Campaigner Amani Simpson, producer of the acclaimed ‘AMANI’ short film (now with nearly 4 million Youtube views) and starring A Smxlls (Popular YouTuber and TikToker) and rapper Lightz (Nines’ Crop Circle film). This is also Amani’s writer/director debut and was co-created with young people from Enfield, some of whom also feature in the film.
The film addresses the need for contextual safeguarding (intervention from members of the community) and covers the themes of grooming, exploitation, and consequences. It has been commissioned by Enfield Council and supported by the VRU’s Operation Engage (Enfield & Haringey).
It will be used nationally as a training tool in schools, professional and community settings (alongside our free digital handbook) to help educate and empower viewers. Our team will be running workshops for young people and training for professionals and key stakeholders on how to use our digital resources and additional content.
Testimonials
“Really eye opening for people who have no idea what goes on and who probably blame the young ones without this knowledge.. a must see for everyone”
