Synopsis

Britain is at breaking point. Public services are collapsing, inequality is deepening, and unrest is growing. Akala: Divided Kingdom? is a feature-length documentary that launches an urgent and provocative investigation into the state of the nation. Akala asks: Is the system rigged? Is Britain too divided to fix? What future awaits our young people if this path continues? To find answers, he hits the road - blending personal reflection, candid interviews, and powerful archival material. From anti-immigration protests in Altrincham to striking bin workers in Birmingham and London’s housing crisis, the film unpacks the discontent simmering across the UK, hearing from everyday people on white working-class identity, racism, and loss of trust in traditional media and politics. Featuring voices lincluding MP Zarah Sultana and Rio Ferdinand, it also questions how the media distorts public perception and whether democracy is truly working. Raw, unfiltered, and unflinching, the film captures a country on the edge. Yet amidst the chaos, it ends on hope - spotlighting individuals doing vital work to uplift young people and imagine a better future. More than a film, Akala: Divided Kingdom? is a reckoning - a call to confront reality and reimagine what Britain could become.

Synopsis

A gripping documentary that captures an unprecedented moment in British cinema. Hollywood star Woody Harrelson set out on an audacious mission: to write, direct, and star in the world’s first live feature film, shot in a single take across central London and broadcast in real time to nearly 600 cinemas across the USA. Featuring Owen Wilson and a host of top British talent, this behind-the-scenes documentary reveals the passion, chaos, and technical wizardry required to pull off what many thought was impossible. From high-stakes rehearsals to last-minute crises, including a failed camera link, a missed cue, and even an unexploded bomb, the journey was anything but smooth. Told by Woody, Owen, cast, crew, and family, this is more than a making-of film; it's a funny, nerve-jangling and heartfelt portrait of creative ambition, the thrill of live performance, and the determination it takes to make cinema history. This isn’t just a film about filmmaking, it’s the story of a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic event.
