Into the Blue

Tatheer goes to police summer camp in an engaging film about a young girl who discovers she might be an action hero without even realising it.
Tatheer loves cars. In fact, she has already driven her uncle’s car, even though she doesn’t have a licence yet. This week, she’s going to a police camp with a bunch of other kids aged 12-14 to learn about police work. What she arrives in is a new world of shields and helmets, guns and action. Filmmaker Ömer Sami gets up close and personal with Tatheer as she is pushed to the limit in the new world of police work, and ends up making a powerful film about daring to be yourself.

Sam and the Plant Next Door
Ömer Sami / United Kingdom & Denmark / 2019 / 23 min
11-year-old Sam is growing up in the shadow of the UK's largest nuclear power station. Will he work at the plant like the rest of the town? Or will he follow his dream?
The adults tell 11-year-old Sam not to worry about the huge nuclear power station the government is building close to his home in the countryside he knows so well. But for someone like Sam, there’s a lot to think about. Hinkley Point C will be the UK’s largest nuclear power station. Most of Sam’s classmates imagine themselves working at the plant when they grow up, but Sam has a different plan. He wants to protect nature, he wants to get an education and maybe become a biologist. But his parents don’t have the money for the expensive education, and now Sam has to seek help from the people behind the nuclear power plant. ‘Sam and the Plant Next Door’ is a film about standing up for who you are.
