Rights Watch UK

A film produced for Rights Watch UK (now called Rights and Security International) on the UK Governments Prevent strategy, a centrepiece of its national counter-terrorism policy.

Rights Watch (UK)’s landmark report, published on 13 July 2016, reveals that the Prevent strategy is serving to clamp down on open expression and debate in classrooms particularly among Muslim children who are disproportionately impacted by Prevent and fear being reported for expressing their political and religious views.

COP18 Intro Video

The UN Environment conference bought some of the top minds in the world together to come up with a new solution for climate change in 2012. They ultimately only moved things forward by a fraction. But Qatar’s awareness of its own environmental challenges moved forward by leaps and bounds. We were given six days to find and film the stories of some of the people making the biggest difference around the country. It was a challenge. But we made it! The big bonus was a visit from the director of Chariots of Fire, Hugh Hudson, to our little edit suite. Oh how we grinned.
