Watch an exciting and moving movie on YouTube for free and do something for a good cause - that's what you can do since April 21 for a total of four weeks. For that long, the feature film ROBIN, the heart of the social fundraising campaign "Watch for Wishes", will be available to watch free of charge. For every click the film gets online, the campaign partners will donate 10 cents to a charity. This should ultimately raise enough money to grant sick and disadvantaged children their greatest wishes.
The makers of ROBIN took inspiration for the film from true events. It tells the story of John, an author who would do just about anything for his seriously ill son. When he discovers the boy's secret bucket list, he makes a drastic decision: he sneaks out of the hospital with Robin for a father-son adventure in South Africa. Of course, this doesn't come without consequences, because while John is trying to fulfill his son's greatest wishes, he's under investigation for child abduction.
Four years were spent working on the film - always in an effort to keep costs as low as possible. Various companies provided services and sponsorship. Filming locations could be used for free and the cast and crew as a whole waived any fees. This allowed the makers to shoot a feature film, which would normally have cost several million euros, for a fraction of the usual budget. It was shot in Germany and South Africa with an international cast.
The goal of the makers: with the very emotional medium of film, they want not only to entertain, but also to spark a social impact. Not only by making viewers make a difference in real life by watching it. They want to inspire people with the story of their film and also show that even a small contribution can make a difference. With a lot of passion and a strong belief in the ambitious project, a film was created that moves, entertains well and yet is much more than "just" a movie. Therefore we can only recommend it to you: Watch the work by all means. (The film was shot in English. German subtitles are available on YouTube)
Besides the possibility to watch ROBIN on YouTube, there will be two screenings in Frankfurt, where some of the filmmakers will be present. In addition, a look behind the scenes of the ambitious project will be offered. The first screening will take place on May 7 at Campus Bockenheim, organized by MainLichtblick e.V.
