Walking With The Wounded
Martin's story of recovery after hitting rock bottom.
Walking With The Wounded helps veterans struggling to transition back into civilian life. This film gives a voice to Martin, a real-life veteran, whose difficult experiences are representative of many others.
The film follows him through a night shift as an HGV driver. As he travels across the country to see his family, he tells his story of spiralling down to "rock bottom" after leaving the army, and how the charity helped him get through it. The film is built around an unscripted interview, which provided plenty of space for him to share in his own words, and at his own pace.

Personal Giving — 60''
The hero film was also versioned into shorter 60s digital ads to invite donations which performed very well across the organisation's channels. This cut kept the poetic tone, but fronted the difficult facts, and made the donation ask central.
