rare day

Rare Day (http://www.rareday.co.uk) has been commissioned by Channel 4 to make a landmark series of five stand-alone documentaries about growing up in Britain today. Each film will be about a young person (or number of young people) overcoming challenges on their route to adulthood.  We want the films to be inspiring, featuring people who are thoughtful, engaging and resilient.

We would like one of the documentaries to explore young people's experiences of parental divorce or separation.  We are currently looking for young people aged 12-25, and their parent(s), to speak to as part of our confidential research to help us shape this film.

We hope this will be a helpful documentary that's not only of use to viewers, but also empowers the young people we eventually film, allowing them to tell their stories in their own words in short interviews.  The documentaries in this series are ultimately positive in tone and show resilient young people moving on from difficult experiences.

We're a BAFTA award winning team, used to working responsibly and collaboratively with young people and their families.  We will be carrying out our duty of care according to guidelines we've established with C4 and the welfare of the young people we work with is of paramount importance at all stages.

If you think you might be able to help with this project, please contact assistant producer Ayesha Tariq on ayesha@rareday.co.uk / 020 7729 8699.  There's absolutely no obligation for anyone we speak to as part of our confidential research to take part in an filming, we'd just really welcome your input in the first instance.

Thanks for your time,

The Rare Day team.
