Filming Accentuate Launch Event
The Accentuate programme aims to get disabled people the recognition they deserve. I was commissioned to film the launch event at the Brighton Dome on the International Day of Disabled People, and 1,000 days before the start of the 2012 Paralympic Games – Accentuate has given itself those 1,000 days to make a cultural shift in people’s views. Award-winning actor Mat Fraser joined critically acclaimed BBC TV producer Ewan Marshall and Paralympic Games gold medallist Danny Crates on a panel discussion about the projects aims.
Accentuate is an ambitious transformational programme of 15 projects. The South East was the birthplace of the Paralympic Games and Accentuate will now carry the baton to continue the journey ensuring disabled people have the potential to be the leaders of tomorrow, in whatever field they choose.
