EP4  Legally High
Aug. 23,2013
Legally High

Recent years have seen a step-change in Britain's drug culture. Out go the 'old' illegal drugs - cocaine, heroin, speed - swept to one side by a younger generation who can get their hits not only more cheaply but also legally. The new drugs are legal to buy because they're sold as research chemicals and labelled 'not for human consumption'. This hard-hitting observational documentary - directed by triple BAFTA-award winner Dan Reed - takes a trip into a murky world where underground chemists invent new drugs faster than the government can legislate against them.

12 Year Old Lifer

In April 2010 in Enchanted Hills, Indiana, 12-year-old Paul Gingerich helped 15-year-old Colt Lundy shoot Colt's stepfather multiple times with his own guns, after plotting the crime in the local playground. The shocking murder of Phillip Danner was carried out by 2 middle-class boys with no prior criminal record. The story gripped America. With unprecedented access to both boys, their families, and the ongoing court case, this gives extraordinary insight into the crime and its aftermath, as key players give candid interviews. Both were tried and sentenced as adults, and are each serving 30 years. Paul is one of the youngest children in American history to be waived to adult court. An extraordinary insight into the crime and aftermath, it traces how their lives are different after the Dept of Correction elected to keep Paul in the juvenile system despite the judge's order that he be remanded to the adult system. This film includes Paul's appeal in the Indiana Appellate Court.

Dogging Tales

Many have heard of dogging, or know of places where it happens, but very few know what goes on in this secretive world. Dogging Tales, is intimate and compelling, told by doggers themselves, who share their experiences of a mysterious, little understood neck of the woods. Filmed over 10 months, it follows people while gaining insight into why they engage in or watch sexual activity in front of strangers in public areas at night. Initial interviews are in the 'real world' as their day draws to a close and they talk of life, families and relationships. As they prepare to go out, they shed their daily personas and we accompany them on excursions to UK laybys, woods and picnic spots that often double as dogging locations after dusk.
