Dramatic retelling of the fateful last voyage of the Nantucket whaleship Essex. When the Essex is attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in November 1820, her crew take to three fragile whalers. Alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the men must decide whether to head for the nearest islands - a thousand miles downwind to the west - or set out on an epic journey of almost three thousand miles to reach the South American mainland. Fear of cannibals forces them to choose South America. Almost three months later, the first whaler is rescued by another whaleship. Only three men are still alive. A week later the captain's whaler is also rescued, with just two men aboard. The third whaler is never found. This is a story of human endurance and what men in extremis will do to survive.

Bearwalker tells the emotional life story of wildlife biologist Lynn Rogers, who has lived closer to wild black bears than anyone ever before. This film follows his daughter, Colleen, as she returns home to the iconic Northwoods of Minnesota to help her aging father save his remarkable legacy. Many in America have a paralysing fear of bears, yet, as a child, Colleen was raised among wild bears, never questioning her father’s unconventional bond with these animals. Now, a frail father and loving daughter face denial, heartache, and the looming threat of hunters while Lynn strives to see his favourite bear, ‘Lily,’ one last time. Set against the raw beauty of the American wilderness and brought to life with rare, unseen archive footage, Bearwalker charts the fifty-year journey of a controversial scientific pioneer, revealing how challenging and overcoming fear can create a new relationship with the wild.

Explores the extraordinary six-year ordeal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - a British-Iranian dual national held in Tehran - as well as the tireless campaign by her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, to bring her home.

With exclusive access to former hostages and key political decision-makers, Prisoner 951: The Hostages’ Story offers a rare look at the toll of being used as leverage in political negotiations between states. The film lays bare how authoritarian regimes are increasingly using foreign nationals as geopolitical bargaining chips. Through the lens of Nazanin’s six-year imprisonment in Iran, the film examines the wider pattern of wrongful detention, the international failure to prevent it, and the hidden costs to families, diplomacy, and justice.
