Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down
Self
The extraordinary story of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords: her relentless fight to recover following an assassination attempt in 2011, and her new life as one of the most effective activists in the battle against gun violence.
Marillion: Distant Lights
This is a live Blu Ray disc from 2019 Marillion Weekend from Port Zelande and a Show from Leicester. We are delighted, and somewhat relieved, to present a record of the last Marillion Weekend, from what has become the distant past! Which is half the reason for calling the two-film set ‘Distant Lights’ - the other half, of course, being a nod to a lyric from the Happiness Is The Road album, which was the centrepiece of the 2019 Sunday night show. Just to quash any speculation, the delay in releasing these films was not so much caused by any turn of events, as by everyone having been consumed by the creation of An Hour Before It’s Dark over the last couple of years.
