Commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1, we were commissioned by the Royal British Legion in Jersey to film a documentary highlighting the extraordinary, but little known role that the Jersey Contingent played so that the 326 volunteers who left the island to defend our freedom are not forgotten.
We delicately uncovered stories which had been passed down to generations of surviving family members and in doing so, repeatedly found that many of the stories had missing pieces. The aim of the documentary was to fill some of these blanks, while bringing some resolution and closure for these family members who bravely agreed to share their stories on film.
Being entrusted to tell these highly personal and emotive stories was both a privilege and honour, and the campaign went on to win a national CIM award for ‘Best Use of PR’ and was a finalist at the National CIPR Awards.
