Tom Cholmondeley’s film Last Gasp was a stunning experience. In Tom’s film, powerful shareholder Robert Harper (David Suchet) and his teenage daughter Julianna (Martha Maloney) have never faced the truth about his oil investments until Raad Karim (Waleed Elgadi ) arrives. He has come from Rumaila, Iraq with his brother Thabit (Aso Sherabyani) on a mission. His daughter Fatima has leukaemia caused by the toxic air from oil field flaring of methane. Raad and his brother have tracked down the wealthy oil businessman Robert Harper and Julianna. All schoolteacher Raad wants is for Harper to persuade his fellow oil shareholders to stop the flares and help his pupils. As she learns the truth about her family wealth, Julianna is turning against her father. Two clocks are ticking - Armed police are on their way and the shareholders meeting is about to start. Which will play out first? As tensions rise and painful family secrets come to light, Robert is forced to choose between protecting his business empire and finally doing what is right.

Alice Chapman’s inspiring documentary - Ringo Vision. Ringo is a Jamaican chef who feeds the homeless from his makeshift kitchen of a camping stove and shopping trolley almost every day on the side of the road in Croydon, South London. Croydon is known to be one of the most deprived boroughs in London, with 31% of children said to be living in poverty, and a council declaring bankruptcy twice in the past five years. Ringo has so fed 14,000 people so far from his shopping trolley, and his goal is to feed one million people globally.
