Safe Passage are the UK’s leading charity and lobbying group for maintaining safe and legal routes for refugees to come to this country.

I created two films for them, one a vehicle for information about child refugees, and the second a more emotive appeal to get involved with the campaign.

They featured Labour peer and ex-refugee Lord Alf Dubs, Baroness Sheehan of the Liberal Democrats, Dr Rowan Williams, the ex-Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Mark Rylance, Dame Harriet Walter, Juliet Stevenson, Jude Law, David Morrissey, Toby Jones, Jeremy Hardy, George Mackay and Ruby Bentall, among others.

I also commissioned Sir Michael Morpurgo to write a creative vision of the Kindertransport events of 1938/9 which was also, in a way, the story of today’s refugees.

To cap off the campaign, on November 15th 2018 we hosted 1000 people at Friends House in Euston, a third of them original Kindertransport survivors, a third of them public figures like the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Chief Rabbi, Imam Sheikh Babikir, David Attenborough, the Immigration Minister and many MPs, and the final third was recent refugees.

The project ran through 2018 and in December gained the support of Mayor Sadiq Khan. Shortly afterwards the government changed key policies regarding the Dubs amendment.
