Director / Producer - Caroline Rowland / New Moon

Line Producer - Ben Walker

Awards - Emmy Nomination, Best Documentary Feature at the Moondance Film Festival

In the summer of 2012, the most talented young athletes from around the world responded to the call to compete in the London Olympic Games. This is the story of 12 of them. In the final weeks before the Games, we meet them at their homes in Britain, Ireland, the USA, Kenya, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, France, Kosovo and India.

This uplifting, sometimes whimsical story describes the humanity of young people whose dreams and determination have led them to the greatest sporting event in the world.

FIRST does not overtly ‘follow’ their stories, but captures and reflects their personal experiences. It seeks to offer a glimpse of how these extraordinary athletes are really just very ordinary young people - except at the moments of competition that exalt or expose them.

Scored by Sacha Puttnam with a stunning contemporary soundtrack that re-imagines the summer of 2012,“First”captures the London Olympic Games as a recollection, evoking the emotion and magic of the greatest Olympic Games ever.

We Are the People We've Been Waiting For was inspired and guided by producer Lord Puttnam, and focuses on the educational experiences of five young people in Swindon, England. The film examines three pillars on which the current education system globally is built: curriculum, testing, and teaching.

This landmark documentary explores the extent to which young people around the world are being failed by an education system created at the time of the Industrial Revolution. A provocative and relevant exploration of the most

important issue of our time, We Are The People We've Been Waiting For confronts our expectations of what education systems ought to be achieving for our children.
