Jonah, charismatically ADHD and dyslexically created, is a man-child who keeps on slipping. At the same time, his best mate, Lee, nimbly climbs every ladder. After hitting yet another bump and under pressure to see his great-aunt, who is lost to dementia, Jonah contrives that he and Lee visit, hoping it might also offer respite from himself and the mess he’s creating. Though the Northeast coast of Scotland wasn’t quite what Lee envisioned, it holds a certain wildness and wonder. They meet Charlie, who is profoundly Deaf and attempting to clean up after his shady twin brother. Through a developing friendship, the three boys form a connection that ultimately brings Jonah to discover the courage to be vulnerable and that joy is possible despite loss. THE SON AND THE SEA brings personal experience and threads of familial history together to ask: how will boys become men if there’s no one to show them the way?

A Black British activist and a former neo-Nazi sit face to face. In a tense encounter combining direct testimony with dramatic reconstruction, each man is forced to confront what brought him to this point: one radicalised by hate, one shaped by the movement that resists it. Chris Otokito and Nigel Bromage meet for the first time on camera. What unfolds is an unsparing examination of how far-right extremism takes root in Britain and whether dialogue across that divide is possible at all.
