Help for Heroes needs your help. In case you don’t know, it’s a charity that works with war veterans who are wounded mentally or physically. It’s trying to build some new Army Recovery Centres, which will provide care for seriously wounded or long term sick soldiers, and it’ll need £1 million, which it hopes to get through selling a DVD.
The DVD is going to be a compilation of all the best scenes from the best war movies ever made, and the charity wants YOU to help decide the scenes that are going to be on it. So nip on over to the web site to find out more about it and nominate your favourite scenes. The DVD will be available from November 23rd, priced £9, so everyone should be able to afford it.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
