There’s something for everyone here – A Love Song (pictured below), Max Walker-Silverman’s heartfelt romance, tells the story of two childhood sweethearts, now both widowed, reuniting after 40 years apart.
Free Chol Soo Lee (pictured below) is the real story of the eponymous Chol Soo Lee – a Korean immigrant wrongly convicted of murder in 1970s San Fransisco, told through the perspective of journalist K.W Lee, archive footage, and the words of Soo Lee himself.

Finally, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (pictured below) is an uplifting comedy starring Emma Thompson herself as a retired schoolteacher looking for adventure, Nancy – and follows her blossoming relationship with sex worker Leo via three fateful rendezvous.
