Project Detail

The Jungle

Synopsis

10,000 people from all corners of a shattered World. Afghans and Sudanese dominate with Syrians, Eritreans, Iraqis and more. The Jungle is unique. Rich in cultural diversity, religion and language, yet fiscally impoverished. A magnet for thousands of British volunteers wanting to help. It is the shore on which the waves of our own foreign policy wash up and an icon for fears about mass immigration.
We filmed migrants and refugees here for two years, trying to survive this shanty-town in the heart of Europe. Through floods, fires and evictions, right up to the bitter end: Human stories that echo the biggest question of our time.

I Believe Me (AKA Catching my Rapist) I Believe Me (AKA Catching my Rapist)

Director: Richard Parry

Year: 2023

This intimate documentary follows the story of one woman's extraordinary struggle over five years to bring the man who raped her to justice - a man accused of scores of assaults and rapes against women who applied for work at his London escort agency. Part of the BAFTA-winning Exposure strand, the film follows "Sam" with complete access to her story - from revealing her rape, through 18 months in a safe house and botched police investigations, to her discovery of other victims and crucial evidence. Finally, after thirteen years of abuses and many untold victims, her assailant was arrested and charged on 37 counts - including four of rape and assault by penetration against Sam and her friend "Gabrielle". A nine-week landmark trial ensued in October last year. This is a roller-coaster story with a climactic ending that features a close up and personal account, through the eyes of one brave woman who finds out just how hard it can be to fight for justice.

Faced with the death of his best friend, JC must confront a haunting secret from his past. Drawn towards his friend's grieving lover, Ash, he pushes himself harder than ever before - flying lower, closer, faster and recording every moment.
