Listen "Taking Action with the Real David Cameron and Christo Hird"
Episode Synopsis
Christo Hird is remarkable. A founder of Dartmouth Films, Christo continues to release and support films which make a difference. In a world where cinema is dominated by sequels, prequels and remakes desperately pandering to what filmmakers and distributors think the public want, Dartmouth believe in better. Christo and his colleagues are committed to films that can lead change and galvanise audiences into action. They take risks, but sometimes the risks really pay off and they get the audiences that they hope for and the sorts of actions that they seek. Dartmouth were the distributors for "Resilience : The Biology of Stress & the Science of Hope", the film which, in many ways, kicked off Scotland's ACEs movement. They are currently distributing a wonderful new film called "Love and Trouble" - think "Richard Curtis meets gritty reality". It is a love story where hope and commitment, honesty and openness save a marriage. It carries powerful messages about the power of therapy and what happens when we are prepared to confront our trauma and deal with it. All the dates for upcoming screenings are shown below. Please check out the Dartmouth Films website for full details. We all know the impact of "Adolescence" and "Mr Bates vs the Post Office", but these are rare examples of mainstream television and major streaming platforms making films that might have an impact on policy, provision, legal decision-making and decisions about resources. Dartmouth distributes and supports these sorts of films all the time. We need films that can help make the world a better, fairer place, Dartmouth provide them.
