What Would You Say?
A commercial, commissioned by The Media Trust and the Criminal Justice Alliance for restorative justice charity, Why Me?
With many affected by crime feeling silenced both by the crime itself and the justice system, Why Me? do transformational work in aid of healing and understanding, bringing together victims of crime and their perpetrators. Working alongside Nick Alexander and an incredible team, it was a great honour to create this fictionalised depiction of one journey to empowerment for such an important charity and process.
