Episode 1 • Jan 21, 2023
For Queen and Country
It's May 2021 and HMS Queen Elizabeth - higher than Nelson's Column, longer than the Houses of Parliament and weighing in at 65,000 tons - is about to set sail on her first-ever operational mission. Ahead is a gruelling seven-month voyage through the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, to the South China Sea.
Episode 2 • Jan 28, 2023
Troubled Waters
While exercising her rights of navigation in international waters, HMS Queen Elizabeth is faced by Russian warships diverted from the Black Sea to intercept her, as well as Russian aircraft scrambled from their base in Syria to buzz the British task force. This leads to a amatic standoff near the coast of Syria.
Episode 3 • Feb 04, 2023
The Enemy Within
Following a welcome break in Cyprus, HMS Queen Elizabeth heads back to sea. But after passing through the Suez Canal, it's discovered that one sailor has contracted Covid. By the time the ship enters the Indian Ocean, Covid is spreading almost out of control, with 400 sailors in isolation.
Episode 4 • Feb 11, 2023
Pride of the Fleet
In the South China Sea, the warship launches anti-submarine helicopters to see off an unwelcome visit from the Chinese Navy.
Episode 5 • Feb 18, 2023
Neptune's Kingdom
After travelling over 20,000 miles, HMS Queen Elizabeth heads from Japan back to Guam for vital maintenance. After the sailors relax on a longer run of shore leave, the ship and her escorts sail in convoy with the American, Japanese and Australian navies for a show of strength in China's backyard.
Episode 6 • Feb 25, 2023
It's Not Over Till It's Over
After six months at sea on her first operational deployment, HMS Queen Elizabeth departs the Pacific for the long voyage home. Although it will be two months before the ship arrives back in Portsmouth, most are already thinking of family and Christmas. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, the F35 jet pilots have to maintain a strict round-the-clock programme of launches and landings to ensure combat readiness - until, one morning, an F35 on a routine launch loses power at a critical moment.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
