Last November, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media. The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy. The People's Emergency Briefing presents the national implications of climate and nature breakdown - along with credible, positive responses - in a single, accessible account. A new film featuring Chris Packham, leading scientists, a former general and Jennifer Saunders - all being far too frank about where things are heading and what can be done about it.

Did you know that clownfish change sex from male to female? (So if Nemo’s mom had died in real life, his dad could have become his mom!)
Did you know that albatross, penguins and swans parent in same sex pairs? Or that bonobos, who are just as closely related to us as chimps, are matriarchal and have same-sex sex every day?! 

Narrated by Elliot Page, Second Nature follows trailblazing Evolutionary Biologist Dr. Joan Roughgarden as she meets groundbreaking scientists exploring the 1500+ animal species who engage in same-sex sexual behavior and parenting, change sex, form matriarchies, and more, debunking myths that females are “inferior” and that being queer is “unnatural.” 

Set on a remote island in the Chesapeake Bay, Been Here Stay Here is a documentary that follows a deeply rooted Christian fishing community as they navigate a landscape shifting beneath their feet. Their centuries-old way of life—anchored in faith, family, and the rhythms of the bay—stands at a crossroads. The film follows the community’s struggle to hold on to their home, raising questions about belonging, belief, and what it means to stay when the ground beneath you disappears.

Every day, thousands of dairy calves are separated from their mothers at birth. A Dairy Story follows a husband-and-wife team as they risk everything to prove there's another way.

Over 20 years David and Wilma transformed Rainton Farm from a conventional family dairy farm to organic, then regenerative, and now a pioneering nature-based cow-with-calf dairy system. 

A Dairy Story shows how changing a farming system changes everything; from the lives of the animals to the wellbeing of the farmers, and perhaps even the future of dairy farming itself.

For our discussion after the film, we will be joined by Debra and Tom Willoughby from Grange Farm, who have swapped their organic dairy farm for an agroforestry project - planting thousands of fruit and nut trees. alongside food and fodder crops.

A documentary capturing photographer and activist Misan Harriman’s journey documenting global protest movements that drive social change. Follow Harriman as he highlights the resilience of grassroots activists fighting for equality, civil rights, and social justice, the film showcases the intersectionality of these movements and their collective power. With historical context, interviews with activists, and explorations of digital activism, the documentary reveals how Harriman's lens brings the world's activism to light, inspiring viewers to recognize their own power in shaping a more just society.

While investigating a local man's civil petition against the British Crown and Kenya's global tea industry, Nairobi journalist Bea Wangondu stumbles upon her own family's concealed secrets, pushing her to peel back the layers of Kenya's colonial legacy. Colonialism stripped Kikuyu communities of the family land central to their cultural identity, leaving many to labour on tea plantations under abusive conditions, on ancestral soil still owned by some of the world's biggest corporations today. Challenging the powers that be is a dangerous David and Goliath struggle, and for the younger generations growing up on the plantations, avoiding a life of servitude is almost impossible. As echoes of the past refuse to stay buried, Bea goes deeper into a murky world of hidden evidence and untold wounds. 

Set against the beautifully captured richness of the landscape, Kikuyu Land is a poetic, stunningly cinematic dive into a complex history.
