HONG KONG BLUE: Mike Marlowe is a UK photographer who - after traumatic frontline news work in Ukraine in 2014 - decides to seek a less serious life by joining the London paparazzi. In 2019 a 'working holiday' in Asia leads him to Hong Kong, just as that city state comes under increasing pressure from the Chinese government, pressure that provokes huge pro-democracy demonstrations. Mike's interaction there, with the locals - including wannabe and free spirit Susan - puts both of them in the spotlight... and in danger.

Reef Builders

Director: Stephen Shearman

Year: 2025

For the last eight years, off a remote island in Indonesia, a remarkable experiment has been carried out: a once desolate underwater rubble-field of broken and dead coral has been carefully replanted and regrown back to full health. In 2025, the reef on Selasi Besar is the largest rebuilt reef on earth. It is an unprecedented success. Selasi Besar sends a message of hope to the world. But can the success in Indonesia be replicated and rolled out on a global scale? For this experiment to make a difference it has to work everywhere.
