Most people, if not everyone, have been affected by the work of a care worker in some way. The first time our writer, Sam, told me of his experiences as a carer, I knew this was a story with a purpose and a message wider than its runtime. Hopefully the film can feed into a conversation around providing Carers with the support they deserve, in return for the support they give. With Clap For Carers and the COVID pandemic as a backdrop, we hope to show that carers aren't heroes; they are ordinary people, doing an extraordinary job, through challenging conditions.
