Hidden Heroes tells the epic story of how messages from families in India to their loved ones far far away, fighting in the trenches of France, were delivered in a world without telephone, texts, Facebook and email.
I worked with young people and staff at the Brady Arts Centre, Tower Hamlets to create this film.
Hidden Heroes has won:
The Matthew Martino Benevolent Fund - Rising Stars / Cutting It Short Award, at the Cutting East Film Festival, 2015
The 2015 Limelight Film Award for Best Animation.
The award was judged by a panel of film industry guests: Alison Pollock, Director of the East End Film Festival; Cairo Cannon, Film Producer and Executive Producer for Film London and the Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Newham Film Fund; Ally Clow, Manager of Genesis Cinema and AK Rahman, Cutting East Programmer.
