'Do you Remember?', narrated by British actor, David Harewood MBE, follows a school group on a day trip to the seaside for the first time and shines a light on Variety's Great Days Out, which give children an unforgettable day out, creating friendships and memories.
Variety launches new short film Do you Remember? across the UK in Cineworld 101 sites from 11 April 2022. The film coincides with the Cineworld and Variety charity campaign ‘have a heart - help a child’ that runs until the end of April.
The children travelled on one of Variety’s famous Sunshine Coaches, specially adapted, accessible minibuses that cater for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Do you Remember? gives a powerful charity message spotlighting in the UK there are more than 1.3 million disabled children and young people, and nearly four million children living in poverty.
Produced by Knucklehead and directed by Hugh Rochfort, the film harnesses the wonder and joy experienced by a group of children from Belmont School in East London on a day trip to Southend-on-Sea.
Founding Partner of Knucklehead, Tim Katz said "Every child deserves a trip to the seaside, but sadly not all get one. We were delighted to help Variety in the way we best could - by making a film to show how important the work is that they do. The more kids that get a day out to let loose and enjoy themselves, the more we will have achieved something special. It's been a pleasure to help."
Brenda Ramsey, Corporate Partnership Manager and charity film liaison, of Variety, the Children’s Charity said: “Variety is grateful to Knucklehead for making a powerful film that we hope will emotionally capture anyone who watches the film to support our cause and help fund life-changing programs that help children and young people in the UK living in poverty, disadvantaged and disabled to fulfil their potential and to thrive.”
