NSPCC ‘Melissa’s Story’

A sensitive stop-motion animated film for the NSPCC.

Hattie worked with agency Lovers to create this truly multimedia spot to tell the story of Melissa from the perspective of her grandparents.

The piece takes its visual cue from the type of ‘play therapy’ that helped Melissa to overcome her experiences – using paint, mud, food, toys, crayons and a sand pit to tell her story.

Heartbreaking and illuminating, the film highlights the important work that the NSPCC does in helping families support young victims of neglect. ‘Melissa’s Story’ is being used as part of the NSPCC’s ‘It’s Time’ campaign, which asks the government to ensure that every child who has been abused receives the support they need to rebuild their lives.
