The Journey
Synopsis
Meet 3 year-old Amina in the distant 'Afar' region of Ethiopia, trying to find enough food and water to survive during the worst drought in 30 years; 10 year-old Changkouth, living in conflict-ridden South Sudan, trying to get an education and avoid being recruited as a child soldier, in the country with the highest proportion of out-of-school children in the world; and 18-year-old Mani in Chad - ostracized by her community because she is living with HIV, but determined to change minds and using social media to rally support.

Time Detectives: The Mystery of the Mary Rose
Director: Charlotte Windle Mikkelborg
Year: 2022
The world's first multi-sensory augmented reality narrative experience.

Fly
Director: Charlotte Windle Mikkelborg
Year: 2019
Built by award-winning VR creators and an Oscar-winning practical effects team, FLY enables you to become a time-travelling pilot - from the earliest imaginings of Leonardo Da Vinci, to the Wright Brothers’ success on Kitty Hawk Beach, to piloting Concorde and, finally, into one imagined future of flight.
Spacewoman
Director: Hannah Berryman
Year: 2024
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
