In time for the twenty five year anniversary and cinema re-release in February 2023 of James Cameron’s Titanic, actress-turned-filmmaker Alexandra Boyd reconnects with actors she worked with on one of the last epic Hollywood blockbusters. Reading from diaries she asked them to write in 1997, they share untold memories of auditions, life on set and what it has been like to be a small part of the biggest movie of all time. Their stories intertwine with interviews with super fans talking about their obsession and deep love for the film as Alexandra seeks to find out why this film has captivated so many minds, hearts and imaginations for so many years.

Image from a dramatic reconstruction - Two white skinhead males are staring aggressively at a black man. Beyond the Divide

Director: Imoje Aikhoje

Year: 2025

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.
