The story behind a former regional journalist’s charity newspaper has been made into a film.

The film by Zut Media details the history of Liverpool-based All Together Now!, which covers the health and disability sector.

The paper is edited by former Liverpool Echo journalist Tom Dowling, left, who was paralysed after being shot in Iran in 1974.

The film tells the story of the incident, how the seeds were sown for All Together Now!, and the impact the paper is making.

Mark Hancock, co-owner of Zut Media, said: “We’ve made lots of quality films for companies, but this one was very special for us.

“It’s hugely inspirational and shows just what can be achieved against what might seem insurmountable odds.”

Mark, who is also a trustee of the All Together Now! charity, added: “It’s a remarkable story that needs to be told. Now our goal is to get as many people as we can to view it – and attract more organisations and philanthropists to help make the paper bigger and better for everyone.”

Almost 100 local businesses attended the launch of the video at Host Restaurant in Hope Street, Liverpool.
