The film was researched, scripted and filmed by a group of young people who were all personally affected by the issue, conducting the interviews with children and their parents about their distressing detention experiences. Susan Fisher, Save the Children’s Assistant Programme Director said, ‘Save the Children is again calling for the detention of children who have sought safety in Britain to end. The DVD is a part of our long running campaign to end the detention of children. Detention is no place for a child.’ For further information and to view the film visit www.savethechildren.org.uk/caris
