The film, which is directed by Jamie Roberts (<em>The Jihadis Next Door<\/em>), is told from the point of view of the children. It is being introduced by FremantleMedia International to buyers at the market this week in Cannes.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Chinn, who serves as executive producer for Lightbox alongside Katie Buchanan (<em>The Romanians Are Coming<\/em>) and Jonathan Chinn, said: \u201cIn telling this story from the point of view of a group of children, <em>War Child<\/em> takes a bold and distinctive approach to this important subject. Some of the children we are following have left their war-torn homes without their parents and it&#8217;s their very vulnerability which makes this such an emotional and dramatic film. Seeing the refugee crisis from their perspective really brings it home in the most immediate and powerful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angela Neillis, the director of acquisitions and development for non-scripted at FremantleMedia International, added: \u201cLightbox has captured a raw, emotional and powerful portrayal of the current refugee situation. The world is facing a huge crisis and through <em>War Child<\/em>, we can help spread a very important message to viewers around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Channel 4 has commissioned Lightbox, co-founded by Simon Chinn (Man on Wire) and Jonathan Chinn (American High), to produce the tentatively titled documentary War Child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":9276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289,326,197,1621],"class_list":["post-9275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","tag-fremantlemedia","tag-lightbox","tag-war-child","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
