Save Me is a short film that follows the story of two young people who are connected through trauma, and go on a cab journey in search of freedom. It explores themes of grooming, exploitation and consequences, and highlights the importance of contextualised safeguarding, through intervention from members of the community, in preventing youth exploitation.

The film has been provisionally released on YouTube this week (3 June 2023) following premieres in Enfield and Mile End in London, and is set for a larger rollout in September this year.

Its release is accompanied by a digital handbook to help teachers, youth workers and practitioners to facilitate workshops and training on the topic of youth exploitation and grooming.
