The story of Alan Corcoran’s unprecedented length of Ireland – 500-kilometre – sea swim for charity has all the hallmarks of a fascinating documentary. With the stunning backdrop of Ireland’s wild coastline, the story tells the succession of challenges faced during such a monumental undertaking.

Please Don’t Stand Up When Room Is In Motion

'Please Don't Stand Up When Room Is In Motion' uncovers Ali (Novo Amor)'s journey over the production of his Welsh Music Prize-nominated album ‘Cannot Be, Whatsoever’. The title—plucked from the album’s artwork—refers to the idea of embracing the mess, chaos and clutter that surrounds the creative process of writing an album; not letting go and seeing where the path takes you.

Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle for Hard Brexit

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson likes to call the Brexit referendum an “amazing moment for the country”, a rebellion of the "little people" against the faceless EU bureaucracy. But what if Brexit was ultimately not about the "will of the people" at all, but about the interests of a small British elite?

The Mixtup Museum

Imagine the world in 50 years time: the year is 2072. Some young people are doing a history project and find an old video made by a group called Mixtup. It is about a virtual museum - perfect!
There are the two rooms in the museum. The First one is called 'Me:Unlimited'. It is filled with things that the young people in Mixtup are inspired by, things that they love. There are things that they have created, things that nourish them and make a difference to their own and other people's lives.
The second room is called 'Dark Pasts.' The young people have put things in here that they think should be history in the future. These are things that the young people of 2072might have heard about but have never had to deal with themselves.
They want to share this video with others.
Welcome to the Mixtup Museum.
