Why me?
What would you say?

Film & Campaign Description

"What would you say?" follows a victim of crime as he struggles to cope in the aftermath of an assault. The striking imagery of tape over his mouth represents the silencing of people affected by crime and was developed in consultation with people with lived experience of the criminal justice system. You can find out more about Restorative Justice at www.why-me.org.

Why me?

Why me? are a national charity delivering and promoting Restorative Justice for everyone affected by crime and conflict. Many victims of crime feel sidelined by the criminal justice process. Restorative Justice gives them the chance to ask questions about the incident, explain the impact that it had on them, and have a say in how the harm can be repaired. This restorative dialogue transforms lives by helping people affected by crime to recover, and helping people who commit crime to stop.
