Screenplay
The radical new take on Dickens’ classic seeks both to exhume the original story’s gritty commentary on social inequality and the corrupting influence of greed, and to breathe new life into the lyricism of the original text by setting its scenes to extraordinary tableaux of modern dance.

Este impressionante e belo documentário dos diretores indicados ao BAFTA Jacqui e David Morris acompanha a vida extraordinária de Rudolf Nureyev. Do nascimento no vagão de quinta classe de um trem Transiberiano ao seu dramático salto para a liberdade no ocidente no auge da Guerra Fria, assim como sua adulação sem precedentes como o dançarino mais famoso do mundo. O filme retrata a improvável, porém legendária parceria de Nureyev com Margot Fonteyn e registra sua ascensão meteórica ao status de fenômeno cultural global. A vida de Nureyev desenrola-se como a trama avassaladora de um clássico romance russo. A sua história é a história da Rússia. Mesclando imagens nunca antes vistas com a trilha sonora original do premiado compositor Alex Baranowski e as encantadoras performances recém coreografadas do balé dirigido por Russell Maliphant, formado pela companhia britânica Royal Ballet, NUREYEV é uma experiência teatral e cinematográfica como nenhuma outra.

As editor of The Sunday Times for fourteen years, Sir Harold Evans proved to be the right man in the right place at the right time. In an investigative climate all too rare by today's standards, Evans had the freedom and resources to allow teams of journalists to work on long-term projects, including the exposure of Kim Philby as a Soviet spy. As Evans himself details in this stylish documentary, his longest and most hard fought campaign was for the victims of Thalidomide. Originally developed by the Germans in World War II to counter effect sarin gas, post-war the drug was blithely prescribed by British doctors as an antidote to morning sickness, leading to tens of thousands of children born with serious defects. The Sunday Times' fight to win compensation for their struggling families would take more than a decade, as Evans tenaciously pursued the drug companies through the English courts and beyond.
Director
