ABOUT THE PROJECT

SAVE ME is a social impact short film following two teenagers, connected through trauma, who embark on a mini cab journey in search of freedom.
Written and directed by award-winning Youth Coach, Filmmaker and Campaigner Amani Simpson, producer of the acclaimed ‘AMANI’ short film (now with over 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.




SAVE ME has a heart-wrenching call to action for the audience to join forces to address the national emergency facing many of our young people. It covers the themes of grooming, child criminal exploitation, and extra familiar harm. It also has a call to action for more peer and community active bystanders. It was commissioned in 2020 by Enfield Council and supported by the VRU’s Operation Engage (Enfield & Haringey).

Yes it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a community to raise a generation

Our film is being used nationally as a training tool in schools, professional and community settings 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.

“All teaching staff were really impressed with the way Amani balanced his message (quite a scary one for Year 5/6) with humour yet keeping the underlying message strong...”

Join Our Social Action Campaign

#TheVillagePledge is a national call to action urging individuals, communities, and professionals to step up for young people across the UK. With rising levels of mental health issues, loneliness, and exploitation, too many children are falling through the cracks.
The campaign challenges us to go beyond awareness — to take practical steps that make a difference, from becoming active bystanders to volunteering, mentoring, fostering, or simply showing up with care and intention.
Because every child deserves to grow up in a community that sees them, protects them, and believes in their future.
Watch the film. Take the pledge. Be the village.

WORKSHOP RESOURCES

In addition to the film, there is a digital handbook and extra content that can be used to enhance the learning around the key themes such as grooming, child criminal exploitation, intimidation, and control and many more.
