Synopsis

Based on real case histories of human trafficking in Britain, Tariro is a hard hitting drama following three women whose lives cross and while established agencies intervene, they don't all have happy endings: one dies and another struggles to adapt.

No Women No Children No Women No Children

Director: Akporé Uzoh

Year: 2026

The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all. At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space.

All Rivers Spill Their Secrets To The Sea All Rivers Spill Their Secrets To The Sea

Director: Jeanie Finlay

Year: 2026

Fisherman Stan Rennie and his family have always fished the waters of North East England for centuries. 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.
