Walton, North Liverpool. An area severely effected by austerity and home to the safest Labour seat in the country. Filmed over three-years by filmmakers who hail from the area, MANIFESTO is a first-hand account of grass-root community activism, depicting the work and effort that goes into party politics away from Westminster.<br /> National topics - the NHS, education, the environment, worker’s rights, Brexit, internal selections and the 2019 General Election - monumental issues across society, are discussed and debated as Walton Constituency Labour Party campaign for change through Labour’s ‘For The Many’ manifesto.

A portrait of the socialist, trade unionist and Labour politician Dennis Skinner. Raised alongside nine siblings within a mining village, Dennis has fought for the rights of the working class for over 50-years and is known for his passion and wit within the House of Commons. 'Nature of The Beast' looks at what drives Dennis, examines his hinterland and tracks his rise from a local councillor to today, where he is one of Britain's most recognisable politicians - known as 'The Beast of Bolsover'

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> 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.<br /> 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? <br /> 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. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
