Solace x Charity Film
An award-winning short documentary about the lifesaving work of London’s domestic violence charity told by the survivors they help.
UK Content Awards 2023 Winner - ‘Outreach Campaign of the Year’
Shiny Charity Awards Finalist 2023
Award-winning Solace Women’s Aid Charity Film showcasing their lifesaving work and interviews with survivors for their homepage.
What we achieved:
Solace needed a film to showcase the life-saving work they do supporting women and girls who’ve experienced domestic violence and abuse.
Roll Nine created a mini documentary of interviews with their incredible staff, as well as the women they’ve helped to reach a point of safety.
We were proud to film with a number of inspiring survivors who had been helped to flee to Solace’s refuges, as well as women who had, thanks to the help of the charity, completely rebuilt their lives.
The film won the UK Content Award for ‘Outreach Campaign of the Year’ in 2023 and was a finalist in the Smiley Charity Awards.
The film was launched at their sold out International Women’s Day event at Rich Mix in London.
And the film was part of their Big Give Campaign that saw more than £50k raised for the charity.
So far the film has had a reach of more than 3000 across social channels with 300 likes, shares and comments.
A shorter cinematic advert of the film was also played at the Fragments Film Festival including ahead of a talk by 'The Woman King' director Gina Prince-Blythewood.
It now lives permanently and proudly on the Solace website to encourage women to seek support.
