FREEDOM: 50 YEARS OF PRIDE

BBC STUDIOS FOR CHANNEL 4

1 x 90 FEATURE LENGTH

A landmark documentary exploring the history of the Pride movement in the UK, made in collaboration with Oscar nominated filmmaker Stephen Daldry.

Funny, shocking and moving, the inspiring story of queer activism in the UK over the last five decades.

As Co-Producer Director on this fast turnaround documentary, I created a unique visual style and tone. With which I wanted to tell the untold stories of many of the inspirational people who bravely faced discrimination and changed the world for the better. Directing and interviewing a cast of many, encouraging them each to openly share their remarkable personal stories of courage, love, anger and determination

‘What a lineup…this big-hearted documentary and musical revue is a celebration’ The Guardian

‘A perfectly pitched feature-length documentary…precisely the sort of bold but accessible, distinctly British programming

that Channel 4 should be making’ Daily Telegraph

’Simultaneously celebratory, educational and urgent ’ The I

‘A invigorating reminder to be vigilant. The dry wit, righteous anger and boundless energy that made UK Pride such a force is powerfully captured in a documentary featuring Ian McKellen and Olly Alexander’. The Guardian
