All Rivers Spill Their Secrets To The Sea
Synopsis
This line to history stretched uninterrupted, until a devastating tidemark of poisoned crabs appeared one Autumn morning like a biblical plague, heralding an unprecedented poisoning of the river and the sea
Unless Stan - and others like him - can find answers, he may be the last of his kind. Can an unlikely alliance between a raggle-taggle group of salty fishers, elderly seal conservationist Sue and her equally elderly dog Mandy, with marine biologists be the key to survival?
A richly layered story about the value of home and what happens when it is undermined by corruption, betrayal, and environmental collapse. Told with wit, pathos and underdog tenacity by the coastal community whose own Brexit votes may have been the catalyst for disaster.

Your Fat Friend
Director: Jeanie Finlay
Year: 2023
Aubrey Gordon, writes anonymously as "Your Fat Friend" about what it means to be a very fat woman in the world. Her searingly honest writing describes in intimate, humorous and unflinching detail what it’s like to be that fat person on the plane... and how the fantasies, peddled by a diet and wellness industry worth $26 billion a year, are on a par with the lies that Big Tobacco told the public in the 1950s. (95-98% of diets fail for lasting weight loss) …and about her own fractured relationship to her body. This isn’t about “body positivity” co-opted by brands to sell fat-kinis to size 16 women; it’s about fat justice and liberation with no limits. It has brought her an insatiable worldwide audience, a book deal and threats to her life. Filmed over 6 years, we follow Aubrey’s rise from anonymous blogger to best selling author and co-host of one of the biggest podcasts in the world and public figure. Chartsing how it feels to live in a very fat body, and the pain and triumph of trying to change your family... and a world where you just don’t fit.
