An incisive and often moving documentary across three continents, that follows the crusade of the man said to have abolished Britain's trade in human cargo. Stuart takes a fresh look at the apparent contradictions in the story and offers a new perspective on the abolition of the slave trade.
Secret Life
For: Channel 4
Written and Directed by: Rowan Joffe
Produced by: Kudos Film and Television
A brilliantly written, produced and acted drama, which treats the emotive subject of paedophilia with humanity and rigour, without in any way mitigating the horror of such offences. The film is an intelligent and far reaching analysis of both the crime and the inadequate social structures available to deal with offenders.

Directed and
Produced by: Zimena Percival and Martin Rosenbaum
A film which illuminates issues of social and corporate responsibility inherent in Tube culture. Impressive in its conception and brilliant in its craft, Underground comes in the tradition of such documentary pioneers as Grierson and Basil Wright.
