The Fight For Young Lives (BBC and Roman Kemp) visual synopsis by Dani Saveker
Taken from the November 2023 BBC documentary, The Fight For Young Lives. This piece captures the challenges and focus covered in Roman’s investigations into what help is available for young people struggling.
The first documentary was raising the awareness. This one calls for action.
It is an incredibly moving tribute to Joe Lyons, Roman’s best friend who lost his life to suicide in 2020. Dani now works with the charity created by Joe’s family in his memory and to make a difference to young people - Joe’s Buddy Line.
Dani is passionate about the mental wellbeing of young people and the issues associated with suicide as she lost a friend herself to suicide in 2021. In addition to this, Dani’s very good friends from university lost their oldest son the same way just a few years ago.
