  • Swan Song of the Local Abattoir

    ​Covid 19 has revealed how important short supply chains and localised food systems are to the future of food security in the UK.

    This is the story of William Lloyd Williams, a charismatic Welshman who has been battling to keep his local meat purveyor business open for 40 years. Williams rears animals, slaughters them and sells them in the butchers shop in Machynlleth, mid-Wales.

    But businesses like his are now few and far between—there has been a 98% decrease in small abattoirs in the UK since the 1930s.

    This film is a rare documentation of independent meat production through the eyes of a cattleman-cum-slaughterman, at one of the most crucial times in UK farming history.

    This feature documentary explores the potential of theatre to bridge the divide between the marginalised Mursi people in South Omo (who have no political representation) and the Ethiopian government. Olisarali—the first Mursi to learn English and to use a camera—has written a play about his community. He wants to cast Mursi actors and put on a performance at the National Theatre in Addis to show his culture to the rest of the country. It's an ambitious idea but, if successful, it will be an amazing opportunity to transform political and cultural marginalisation—as well as being the first performance of its kind in Ethiopian history. The film will be released in 2024.

    Adam "Pepsi" Watson—an activist, YouTuber and IPP prisoner—has been campaigning for the rights of IPPs since his release in 2018. He received an IPP (Imprisonment for Public Protection) sentence in 2006 for armed robbery while he was addicted to drugs and homeless, and served three years over his recommended tariff. He is on license for 99 years, meaning he can be recalled at any time.

    This film explores the catastrophic mental health impact of these "never ending" sentences, which have been compared to the UK's death row.
