Synopsis

Having retired to bed early to prepare for a dawn ascent, Kelly is woken by the screams of her co-climber Sophie, who had stayed up to enjoy a smoke with a group of men they had met earlier. Desperate to get to her friend, Kelly runs deep into the forest using the night vision from her camera to guide the way. She arrives just in time to see Sophie’s lifeless body being thrown from a ledge, a horror she captures on camera. As she turns to leave, the men hear Kelly below and give chase. Running through their camp, she desperately grabs whatever climbing gear she can and begins free-climbing the foot of the mountain in order to escape the pack. As day turn to freezing night, she finds herself both mentally and physically exhausted. But there is nothing she can do. If she’s to escape this deadly game of cat & mouse she must dig deep, do all she can to survive, and climb...

Synopsis

When filmmaker Oscar Harding's grandfather passed away in the rural English county of Somerset, his family inherited an extraordinary video tape - a feature-length home movie from neighbour Charles Carson, which can best be described as "Monty Python meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". But there's so much more to the man behind the videos - Charles was an inventor, an outsider artist, and a pioneer of death positivity, to name just a few of the filmmaking farmer’s achievements. Charles’ life and work are examined by those who knew him best, as well by a whole new generation of fans from across the world who have been inspired by the legacy he left behind. A LIFE ON THE FARM is an exploration and celebration of Charles Carson and his movies, rescued from obscurity, which present a moving and laugh-out-loud document of a time and place in danger of being lost to history.

But the gang is not about to vanish. They are dangerous - organised crime professionals who inhabit Europe's dark underworld - and now it's their turn to seek vengeance. Ignoring desperate phone calls from her superior, Ed, urging her to allow his agency to protect her, Kelly goes on the run and flees to Spain where she attempts to ride out the storm - without success.
