Hull's Headscarf Heroes
Director
Documentary which marks the 50th anniversary of the triple trawler tragedy during January and February of 1968, in which 58 men died. It was one of Britain's deadliest maritime disasters, which tore through the heart of Hull's Hessle Road fishing community. The film tells the epic story of the Hull fishermen who did the most dangerous job in Britain and their wives whose protest ensured such a disaster never happened again. The women's campaign was one of the biggest and most successful civil action campaigns of the 20th century. Combining rare archive and emotional testimony - including that of Yvonne Blenkinsop, the last surviving leader of the women - those who lived through the tragedy and fought for change tell their incredible stories for the first time.

9/11: Escape from the Impact Zone
Executive Producer
Told for the first time, this is the story of the handful of people in the South Tower, on the actual floors hit by the hijacked plane, who made it out alive. That anyone could survive the devastating inferno ignited by 34,000 litres of jet fuel is surprising enough. But how they managed to escape before the tower collapsed is even more extraordinary. Now, those who were there recall the unique life and death struggles that took place inside the Tower that morning - and reveal how they got away.

Наверное, один из самых кровавых, брутальных и лютых криминальных триллеров за 2010 год. Качество спецэффектов на должном уровне, натуралистичных огнестрельных ранений, издевательств и жестких перестрелок здесь немало, неплохой сюжет, интересный экшн – одним словом англичане сняли реально кровожадный и четкий боевичок про героя одиночку.
