Joy of Joys
An intimate behind-the-scenes look at Abbey Road Studios documents the recording of HELP(2), the Mercury Prize–nominated 2026 charity album from War Child Records that supports children in conflict zones worldwide. To realize the film, Glazer recruited essential help by arming London's schoolchildren with personal digital cameras and inviting them to capture the studio sessions in any way they chose. Parallel to this perspective is footage shot by lively children in war-torn regions—Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen—whom Glazer also supplied with cameras. The resulting documentary, which Glazer and his longtime musical collaborator Mica Levi describe as 'by children, for children,' stands as a testament to youthful openness and wonder amid the evils of the adult world.
