In addition to the stellar cast of musicians involved, renowned filmmaker Jonathan Glazer and his team at Academy Films generously helmed the Creative Direction for HELP(2), overseeing both the filming and art direction for the project.

HELP(2) is a brand new collaborative album, inspired by the landmark 1995 release HELP, which brings music lovers together in support of War Child's vital work delivering immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict around the world.

Because no child should be part of war. Ever.
