Kill Zone: Inside Gaza
Basement Films

The story of the Israel-Hamas war told by those living through it in Gaza: the journalists trying to cover it as they lose dozens of beloved colleagues, the doctors trying to save lives and rebuild shattered bodies, the parents trying to reassure and feed frightened children, and the children left as WCNSF; “wounded child no surviving family”. KILL ZONE: INSIDE GAZA is the definitive account of the conflict, pairing character observation of a surgeon in Al-Shifa Hospital as it comes under attack, a journalist as she covers the chaos around her whilst losing close colleagues almost every day, a family striving to survive through food shortages, and two little girls with grievous leg injuries who have both lost their parents. These stories and more are combined with forensic analysis to deliver the story of the most intense military bombardment of the 21st century.

Dances With Cranes
Sea to Sea Productions
1 x 60' 4K
DANCES WITH CRANES follows the incredible journey of the whooping crane, one of the world’s rarest and most ancient birds, predating humans by tens of thousands of years. Once nearly extinct, with fewer than 20 remaining in the 1940s, these majestic creatures are still fighting for survival. This film explores the remarkable efforts of scientists who will go to any length to save them—whether performing mating dances or jumping from helicopters to study them in the wild. Over the course of a year in the life of three whooping crane chicks, we witness the challenges of bringing a species back from the brink of extinction, from the early conservation efforts to new threats posed by climate change. DANCES WITH CRANES tells a story of resilience, dedication, and the fight to protect an ancient species.

Inside The Statue Wars
Saloon Media
1 x 60' HD
For some, historical figures are great heroes and nation builders. But for a growing legion of others, they are imperialists, racists, and criminals. INSIDE THE STATUE WARS delves into a fascinating, high stakes battle being waged over public memorials and statues. From Indigenous protestors tearing down a statue of Queen Victoria, to students threatening to walk out of schools named after these historical figures, to civic and business leaders spending millions to re-name streets, brands, and buildings, we are living through a momentous re-evaluation of our past. Is it a long overdue reckoning or an over-reaction? Are we rebalancing the narrative to reach a more inclusive future, or is this an activist approach to history in the age of cancel culture?
