  • Class of '62 at 16 [Part 2] 29:40 Class of '62 at 16 [Part 2]

    [Part 2] Since Marilyn Gaunt and her classmates at a Leeds secondary modern left school at 16 in 1962, she's kept track of them in two previous films. Now, in the third, the women have reached the milestone age of 60, and they take stock. It's a fascinating, moving portrait of an indomitable group who have faced many painful blows - divorce, disastrous relationships, widowhood, caring for failing parents - yet they've emerged sturdily cheerful and optimistic. In a wider sense it's also a portrait of a generation, a region and a class - these are northern working-class women who have borne what life handed them with stoicism. Times have been tough, but being 60 offers new perspectives, from the woman building her dream home in Italy to the woman delighted at the new freedom of her bus pass: "I can go anywhere I want in West Yorkshire."

  • The Tower [Part 2] 49:11 The Tower [Part 2]

    [Part 2] The Tower: A Tale of Two Cities, an observational documentary which has been filmed over three years, charts the urban regeneration of the notoriously troubled Pepys Estate in South London. A property developer is turning a dilapidated former council high-rise into luxury riverside apartments and another is being demolished and rebuilt for public sector workers. The changes are happening under the gaze of those still living in the original local authority houses next door. The experiences and opinions of those still living on the estate, and those moving into the chic new homes, capture a key period of transition in contemporary London.

  • 9/11 [Part 1] 26:06 9/11 [Part 1]

    [Part 1] On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City firefighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward--just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. In a fateful instant, Jules and Gedeon became eyewitnesses to the most shocking and defining incident of our time. With cameras rolling, the Naudets followed NYC firefighters into the heart of what would be known as Ground Zero. What emerged is an unforgettably powerful visual document and a stirring tribute to real-life heroes who, in their city's darkest hour, rose to extraordinary acts of courage and compassion.
