Regent's and Vicky
Director: George Amponsah
Year: 2020
Over the course of week the documentary feature follows: a new immigrant; a local black woman, and an environmental activist as they interact with outliers from disparate subcultures along the Regent’s Canal as it streams from Paddington in the West London through Camden, King’s Cross and Islington towards Vicky in the East London. And a murder investigation into the death of a young female, where the police question joggers, cyclists, boaters and other canal users seeking witnesses to the crime. A contemporary social thriller about race, class, gender, sexuality, migration and outliers in 21st century London. Similar in tone to 'Dirty Pretty Things' and 'Crash'.
The Hard Stop
Director: George Amponsah
Year: 2015
In August 2011, 29-year-old Mark Duggan was shot and killed whilst being arrested by armed police in Tottenham, London. This incident ignited a riot that escalated into a week of the worst civil unrest in recent British history. This film explores the life and death of Mark Duggan, and features his childhood friends, Marcus and Kurtis, as they struggle to come to terms with the death of their friend - whilst also waiting to see if the inquest into his shooting will provide them with a satisfactory version of the truth.
