2020: Life in Lockdown



Emma Willis narrates a special film for BBC Children in Need, a powerful, uplifting and touching portrait of how resilient children and young people can be in the face of a global crisis.\n\nThe film follows Coby, aged nine, and his sister Addison, age four, who has recently been diagnosed with Poretti-Boltshauser Syndrome, a rare disorder. Coby supports his little sister through this tough time, helping with her sign language, as they also receive some surprising news about her condition.\n\nIn Swansea, Leo (14), Lilah (13) and Zion (9) live with their grandmother Emma after their mother died five years ago. The three siblings have all been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and have other additional needs. The film captures the family’s frustration, anxiety and camaraderie as the children cope with fluctuating lockdown restrictions, and sees them receive support in the form of BBC support from projects funded by Children in Need.\n\nEthan, aged 12, from Hertfordshire has been diagnosed with Stargardt disease. His eyesight is deteriorating, with the real possibility that one day he will lose it completely. The film shares Ethan’s determination to overcome his challenges and make as many memories as possible while he still can see.\n\nBeatrice, aged eight, from Greater Manchester, lost her little sister Rosalind to cancer a year ago. As Beatrice and her family headed into lockdown in March, they were already dealing with the many challenges of bereavement. Rachel, a project worker from a Children in Need-funded project at the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, has been hosting virtual play sessions with Bea to help her cope.\n
