Following its premiere at Battersea Power Station, the documentary will continue its impact by being screened at Coram’s headquarters to mark the beginning of Anti-Bullying Week. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with ambassadors Andrew Barton, celebrity hair stylist and Josh Braid, adventurer, and Dale Reubin, mountain videographer who all took on the climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The challenge
What began as one bold idea to mark Coram Kidscape’s 40th anniversary became something far bigger than anyone imagined.
In January 2026, a team of 27 extraordinary individuals took on one of the world’s greatest physical and mental challenges: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Every participant self-funded their expedition and committed to raising vital funds to help children and families affected by bullying.
Together, the team led by charity ambassadors Andrew Barton and Josh Braid has raised more than £100,000 for Coram Kidscape, ensuring more young people can access life-changing support, education and advice.
But this journey delivered by expedition partners Uncharted Summits was never just about reaching the summit.
It was about resilience, courage, vulnerability and proving that, with the right support, we can overcome mountains both visible and invisible. Along the way, the team faced altitude sickness, exhaustion, injury and moments that tested them physically and emotionally. Their story became a powerful metaphor for the challenges so many young people experience every day when facing bullying.
About the film
These extraordinary moments have been captured in The Roof of Africa: Bullied – The Mountain We Face, a documentary produced by Lucy Black – Bright Cause Consultancy in partnership with Uncharted Summits. The film shines a light on the realities of bullying while celebrating the strength that comes from community, hope and determination.
This is more than a film. It is a story of purpose, partnership and people choosing to climb a mountain so that fewer children have to face theirs alone.
Join us
We hope you’ll join us at Coram for this special screening as we come together to reflect on the journey, hear the stories behind it and continue the conversation about how we can create safer, kinder environments for children and young people.
