Schmeichel
Peter Shmeichel
Peter Schmeichel is a giant of football, perhaps the greatest goalkeeper of all time. A man who won more Premier League titles than any player in his position and captained Manchester United in the incomparable, last-gasp Treble-clenching win over Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League Final.
Schmeichel is an incredible family story, exploring what it took to thrive in the winning environment fostered by Sir Alex Ferguson at United in the 1990’s, what it was like to play alongside Eric Cantona and the Class of ’92 and also takes in the remarkable journey Schmeichel was part of when Denmark, against all odds, won the Euros in 1992.
Hill
Damon Hill
Hill is the story of a son’s lifelong search to understand his father set against the backdrop of the fastest sport on the planet. Damon Hill’s father was his hero. Graham Hill was a two-time world champion and racing icon, full of natural charisma, humour and vibrancy. He was a towering figure. For Damon, growing up at a time when F1 was immensely dangerous for the drivers, death was a constant threat. And when Graham was tragically killed in a plane crash when Damon was just 15, it left the family with nothing. It forced Damon down a path that lead him back into F1 and ultimately an attempt to emulate his father.
Lomu
Jonah Lomu
There are very few sportsmen and women who transcend their chosen game. This is about a boy, rejected by his father, searching for the love he was denied as a child. The most feared and admired player of all time, rugby’s first global superstar, Jonah Lomu. The essence of this film is profoundly human. At its heart is something that touches everyone.

McEnroe
Written and Directed by Barney Douglas
“McEnroe” is an intimate portrait of one of the most explosive and compelling sporting icons of all time. Number One in the world in four consecutive years, John’s epic battles with Bjorn Borg helped define the golden era of tennis, yet huge controversy on and off the court betrayed an inner conflict. Set over one New York night, John journeys into memory to explore why a need for connection both drove him and nearly broke him.
The Greatest Game
Directed and written by Ashley Gething
‘The Greatest game’ is the definitive story of arguably England’s finest cricketing moment. With insight and co-operation from every member of the team, the film charts the journey from rock bottom, with the early exit from the world cup in 2015, to the height of achievement on that glorious summer’s day four years later as this diverse group of individuals pulled together, over-coming all the challenges that faced them, to reach the pinnacle of their sport. It is the definitive story of arguably England’s finest cricketing moment.
