Synopsis

George Best was one of the greatest footballers who ever lived. But he was so much more than that. Although the football pitch was his arena, Best was essentially a pop star - young, stylish, strikingly beautiful, possessed of a creative confidence that bordered on arrogance, and worshipped by young men and women alike. Like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. This film is simultaneously a celebration of a genius and an exploration of the demons that brought him down. We all know how these biopics traditionally work: in this case a talented but innocent young man from the backstreets of a divided but still pre-Troubles Belfast, becomes a star. But his time at the top is agonizingly short: a family history of alcoholism doesn’t help, in those pre-drug Sixties everyone wanted to buy him a drink, and before he was thirty, he was a washed up drunk. But we’re taking the Benjamin Button approach here. No-one wants to go out on a downer, with the end card telling us how many hundreds of thousands lined the streets of his home town to bid him farewell, along with the millions watching on live television.

Synopsis

Thomas Greene is a reserved surgical theatre support worker in Liverpool, known for his polite nature and routine life. But everything changes when he kills a woman in self-defense - Mary, a deeply disturbed single mother who lured Thomas into her fractured world. She believed her children were still alive. They weren’t. The trauma of this moment shatters something within Thomas. As the investigation into Mary’s violent past unfolds, Thomas finds himself haunted by what he saw - and what he did. But instead of guilt, he feels a strange calm. A calm that grows darker with every passing day. Now, women across the city begin to vanish - each case linked by eerie silence and surgical precision. Detective Jack Latham suspects a pattern, but the killer leaves no trace. No emotion. No motive. Just method. Behind the charm and quiet eyes, Thomas hides a growing obsession: cleansing the world of those he deems unworthy. The city remains unaware that a predator walks among them - one born not from rage or revenge, but from the cold clarity of silence.

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.
