Thriving Families - Oxfordshire

A commission from Oxfordshire County Council to make a new documentary film recording the Oxfordshire Thriving Families programme over the course of its first year. Our film will tell the story of the programme as it develops - following families and characters on their journey. We will also follow the development of staff. Our crew will be shooting at key moments over the coming year commencing this April, 2013.

This pilot is part of a new government initiative designed to help many families and communities and genuinely "turn lives around". We are really looking forward to capturing the full story as it unfolds in Oxfordshire.

“I really believe we can make a difference this way.  Indeed, I set this ambition: by the end of this Parliament, I want us to try and turn around every troubled family in the country.”

  David Cameron, December 2010

"Bringing together looked after children as a group in this way is unique. It allows them to use the arts explore issues related to being in care in a totally new way, with quite extraordinary results."
