"In a landscape where many organisations have scaled back, HopeFull’s sustained, frontline presence throughout the war in Ukraine is nothing short of extraordinary. Their work, delivering hot meals under shelling, rescuing traumatised animals from bombed-out shelters, and building peer led mental health support for veterans represents a rare and vital thread of unwavering humanity.
I was so deeply impressed by their courage and impact that I felt a professional and personal drive to document their mission, ensuring the world sees and supports this crucial work."
A Documentary Mission to Fuel Frontline Compassion
HopeFull is an established charity run by British military veterans delivering frontline aid in Ukraine’s most dangerous zones.
For three years, they have maintained an extraordinary, sustained presence where others have scaled back, operating three vital, interconnected missions under fire:
Animal Shelters: Supporting three shelters under constant Russian shelling, providing food, veterinary care for hundreds of abandoned dogs and cats.
Humanitarian Aid & Food: Delivering over 1 million hot meals, warmth, and dignity to displaced families, the elderly, and children in bombed-out villages, often within artillery range.
Veteran & Trauma Rehabilitation: Addressing Ukraine’s invisible crisis through a pioneering, peer-led rehabilitation program that restores purpose and builds community leaders.
SUPPORT THE BIGGER PICTURE
In war, every life, human and animal deserves dignity, care and a future.
Their most groundbreaking work? Uniting the rehabilitation of veterans and amputees - many suffering from PTSD due to landmines, with the rescue and care of stray animals. It’s a unique, proven model of mutual healing that no one else is doing on this scale in Ukraine. This work needs a major financial push to continue and expand its life-changing impact.
A unique opportunity for journalists or sponsors to deploy with the team.
All donations and sponsorships are managed through HopeFull’s registered UK charity (No. SC049842), ensuring full transparency and governance.

The search for natalie
London, UK – 8th January 2026 – OG Media Works Ltd. is proud to announce a significant development in the production of its forthcoming feature documentary, The Search for Natalie. We have entered into a formal collaboration with one of Japan’s esteemed regional newspapers, The Chugoku Shimbun, based in Hiroshima. This partnership marks a pivotal step in uncovering the lost history of a classic British yacht that became an unexpected symbol of joy in post-war Japan.
Following initial contact with the paper’s Hiroshima Peace Media Centre our project has been assigned to a dedicated journalist. Together, we are launching a coordinated effort to trace the yacht’s footsteps and collect the memories of those who knew her.
The Story of M/Y Natalie: From British Luxury to Hiroshima Icon
The documentary traces the extraordinary journey of the classic motor yacht Natalie. Built with elegant craftsmanship in Wallsend in 1937, she embodied the pinnacle of British maritime luxury for decades, passing through the hands of a series of prominent owners.
In 1965, she came into the custody of Sir John Brayley, the Welsh industrialist and millionaire. Her story, however, took its most remarkable turn in 1970, when he sold her to a Japanese consortium and embarked on a long voyage to Hiroshima.
There, her role was utterly transformed. For nearly two decades, she served not as a symbol of wealth, but as a beacon of community and romance, providing a space for leisure and celebration in a city dedicated to peace and renewal.
A Collaborative Quest for Memory
This documentary is a personal quest for director Simon O’Gorman, the grandson of Natalie’s former owners. It is an international investigation spanning the UK, the Mediterranean, and Japan, aiming to reconcile the yacht’s glamorous past with her profound public legacy in Hiroshima.
The collaboration with The Chugoku Shimbun is fundamental to this mission. Utilising the newspaper’s deep community roots and archival resources.
Statement from the Director
“This partnership is everything I hoped for when I began this project,” says Simon O’Gorman. “Natalie’s true story doesn’t belong in a dry maritime ledger; it lives in the photo albums and memories of the people of Hiroshima. The Chugoku Shimbun is the essential bridge to that community. Together, we can preserve this unique slice of social history and celebrate how an object of luxury became a vessel for everyday happiness in a city that exemplifies resilience.”
Next Steps and Get Involved
The project is now in an active research and development phase. Filming is scheduled to commence in the UK and Japan in 2026
We invite anyone with information, memories, or media relating to M/Y Natalie from her British era to her time in Hiroshima to make contact. Please follow the project’s progress and contribute via our dedicated channels:

About Mums The Word
Television has long been more than entertainment, it’s a cultural mirror and a blueprint for life. When it portrays women, this power is profound. Writing stories that empower women isn’t niche, it’s an essential cultural evolution. Truly empowering narratives shift women from objects of the plot to its subjects, becoming the architects of their own destinies. The impact is dual, for young girls, it expands what seems possible and builds self-worth rooted in competence, not appearance, dismantling stereotypes episode by episode. To write television that empowers women is to invest in a more equitable reality. It uses our most powerful storytelling medium not just to imagine a more balanced world but to help build it, right before our eyes.

When your story involves speed, secrecy, or survival, you need a cameraman who has operated where those elements define the mission.
For a decade Simon O’G was the visual architect of Aston Martin Racing's identity, trusted with high profile projects like the V12 Rapide Hybrid Hydrogen programme, filming at circuits from the Nürburgring to Dubai. His work supported the iconic British sports car firm through some very dark financial times.
His skillset, operating under extreme pressure with unflappable precision led the British Army’s 77th Brigade to work alongside their 'Information Warfare Team' where he applied his writing craft as a tool of national security.
His boots-on-the-ground experience is vast and directly relevant to the Ukrainian theatre:
- Embedded Deployments: He has operated extensively in the Middle Eastern environments. He is expert in navigating checkpoints, mitigating kinetic threats, and working with discretion under the watch of state and non-state actors.
- High-Threat Environments: While on a three year investigative assignment in East Africa probing corruption networks, his work triggered direct threats from Al-Shabaab (ISIS-aligned). He operated under a confirmed personal threat, a situation tragically underscored by the assassination of a scheduled police contact in Kampala.
- Beyond Battlefields: His embed philosophy extends from conflict zones to the frigid North Atlantic, where he spent a month aboard a super trawler documenting raw, reactive stories proving his ability to deliver compelling content from within any high-pressure, closed environment.
Today, through OG Media Works, he synthesises this background in automotive, military, humanitarian, investigative, into high-level production. He is not just a cameraman, he is a strategic visual operator who understands risk, narrative, and the imperative to secure the story.
For editors seeking critical footage from Ukraine, Simon offers:
- A proven record in active threat environments.
- Experience embedding within complex military and security frameworks.
- The tactical awareness to operate and produce quality work in hostile areas.
- A deep understanding of the mental and physical rigours of deployment, ensuring professional resilience.
Available for commissioning to supply frontline footage, embed documentation, and high-stakes visual storytelling from Ukraine.
