Fight For Justice: David & Me
David McCallum was a 16-year-old kid from the mean streets of Brooklyn when he went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. David has been incarcerated longer than Canadian filmmaker Ray Klonsky has been alive. But Klonsky has spent the last 10 years doing everything he can to help get David out of jail. Why? Because when Ray was a troubled teenager, David helped him turn his life around. Their unlikely bond turns this gut-wrenching wrongful conviction story into a transformative film about going the distance for what you believe.

The Jury: Murder Trial
ScreenDog Productions
4 x 60' HD
THE JURY: MURDER TRIAL is a ground-breaking experiment that asks profound questions about how we administer justice - by putting the jury system itself on trial. For the first time ever, we examine the fairness of the system, and the inner workings of justice in the UK. Filmed over ten days, a real murder trial is recreated word-for-word from the original transcripts, and two randomly-chosen juries, neither of whom are aware of the other, are asked to judge. The case? A man who admits he killed his wife, but whose defence maintains that he lost control, and is therefore not guilty of murder. What will the two juries decide, and why? How well will they follow the complexities of the law? And after they have deliberated, will they agree with each other’s verdicts?

German racer Sophia Flörsch has dreamt of racing in F1 since she started kart racing as a four-year-old. Everything was going well, until a horrific and world-headline-making accident in the 2018 F3 Macau Grand Prix. #RACEGIRL follows Sophia during her grueling battle to get back on the racetrack. She confronts the sport’s prejudice against women and faces the disadvantage of having fewer financial resources than most other drivers. When Russia invades Ukraine, Sophia’s team loses their main sponsor and two drivers, with only weeks to go before the start of the season, and Sophie has to start over once again. This gripping documentary offers a deep insight into the money-driven, male-dominated world of motorsports, and presents an intimate portrait of a strong young woman and the sacrifices she must make in pursuit of her dream.
