Hugo

2011

Hugo is a 2011 American adventure drama film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese, with a screenplay adapted by John Logan. Hugo follows the story of Hugo Cabret, a young orphan secretly living in a Paris train station after losing both his father and neglectful uncle. As he maintains the station’s clocks and tries to repair a mysterious automaton linked to his father, Hugo’s search for meaning leads him to Georges Méliès, a once-renowned filmmaker, and Isabelle, a spirited girl who helps him uncover forgotten histories and find connection, hope, and a sense of belonging.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
