Silent Fish

Uncover the threats overfishing poses to the Mediterranean’s environmental and cultural richness

Although the EU promised to end overfishing by 2020, the Mediterranean remains the most overfished sea on the planet. Fishermen are doomed to catch dwindling numbers of fish in the era of climate change. Travelling through the Mediterranean and capturing the fishermen’s lives on the shores where human civilization made its first steps thousands of years ago, Silent Fish shows how fishermen are in danger of ending up another 'extinct species' because of failed EU and national policies.

Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly

A monumental exhibition on Alcatraz inspires thousands to connect with prisoners of conscience worldwide

While under house arrest in Beijing, Ai Weiwei remotely transformed Alcatraz, a former island penitentiary and current national park, into a remarkable expression of socially engaged art. The final artwork at Alcatraz, Yours Truly, consisted of postcards beautifully illustrated with the national birds and flowers of the prisoners’ countries. Visitors were invited to write messages of hope to the imprisoned activists featured in the Lego portraits. By the time the exhibition ended, over 90,000 postcards had been sent. Then something even more astonishing happened: prisoners and their families began writing back.

You've Been Trumped Too

The acclaimed film that the Trump Organization tried to suppress

Investigative journalist Anthony Baxter travels between the Presidential race and the timeless Scottish countryside to explore the troubling confrontation between a feisty 92-year-old Scottish widow and her family and Donald Trump. “There could not be a more important film than this,” wrote Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian, yet the film was temporarily shut down following legal threats from the Trump Organization. As thousands of journalists hang on every Trump utterance, wondering what he might say next, Baxter explores the consequences of his actions. In Scotland, Baxter discovers that Molly Forbes – now aged 92 – is without a proper working water supply, more than five years after Donald Trump’s workers first cut it off while constructing a luxury golf resort. As Donald Trump crisscrosses America in his campaign for President, Molly struggles to find enough water to wash up, feed her chickens, or even flush the toilet. You’ve Been Trumped Too is a remarkable document of the disconnect between political rhetoric and the lives of ordinary people.
