Told and filmed by the people of Mariupol, this is the deeply personal story of the destruction of a modern European city. The film follows a handful of residents as they film themselves from the start of the invasion to the devastation of their city two months later. Those featured lived through the devastation, recording what was happening around them after most international journalists had left. It is a story of war crimes and suffering but also a story of amazing courage, incredible daring in escape and of undaunted spirit.

Financial Times: ☆☆☆☆☆ ‘This documentary makes for overwhelming, upsetting viewing. But it is a rare example of a film that merits the use of the imperative “must watch.’ 
The Times: ☆☆☆☆☆ ‘If this was relentlessly harrowing to watch, the least you felt you could do was to show these survivors respect by hearing their stories to the end.... All I can say is please do watch it. 
Daily Mail: ☆☆☆☆☆ ‘Powerful’ 
The Guardian: Essential viewing
The Mirror: ‘Harrowing and intense... Nothing brings to life the horrors of war more than the personal stories of those who survived it.’ 
The Telegraph: ‘Intensely personal’ 
The Sunday Times: ‘Superb television’

Look Away confronts the darker side of rock and a subject the music industry has glossed over for years: abuse against women.

For the first time, women some of whom were groomed in their teenage years offer an unfiltered account of their experiences as they share some of the abuses and exploitation that were tolerated in the music industry in the 70's and 80's. These women share their encounters with powerful music names like front men Steven Tyler and Axl Rose, and Kim Fowley, manager of fledgling teen group The Runaways.

Look Away addresses how the music industry fostered a culture where the abuse of women was normalised.

The Guardian: ☆☆☆☆ ‘an intelligent film’ 
The Telegraph: ☆☆☆☆ ‘a timely and often harrowing exposé’
The Financial Times: ☆☆☆☆
The Sunday Times: ‘this is a simultaneously powerful and angering film.’ ‘enlightening’

9/11 re-examines the defining moment of the modern world. It’s a film that lives in the ordinariness of the day before the first plane struck and on the simple but life affirming human interactions after the attacks began – binding ordinary people into a moment in history that they weren’t able to comprehend at the time. With 20 years distance, how do they make sense of what they lived through and what clues about the ramifications of 9/11 can we glean from their ongoing lives?

A powerful series that charts a cover-up that went to the highest levels of the Church of England with scripted drama and survivor testimony. Bishop Peter Ball is the most senior member of the Church to be prosecuted for sex crimes. This series charts how survivors attempted to uncover the truth of his crimes for decades, and how the Bishop escaped justice by using influential friends in the establishment including the Prince of Wales.

Radio Times: ‘How did a known abuser, a friend to Prince Charles and other establishment figures, escape justice for so long?’

The Sunday Telegraph: ‘Sometimes the monsters hide in plain sight. That’s the message behind this devastating film… It’s a shocking story that will only get darker as the scale of the cover up is revealed’.

With many areas of Britain effectively segregated, these children see if they can begin to solve a problem the adult world has failed to fix.

The Guardian: ‘Plenty of telly-worthy moments … enough to give you hope’
