THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND
Based on the inspiring true story of William Kamkwamba, an ingenious 13-year old Malawian farm boy.
​
When poverty forces him to drop out of secondary education, William spends his days poring through old science textbooks, and scavenging the local scrapyard for components with which to build a wind turbine.
​
William lifts his village out of famine, breaking their cycle of reliance upon the rains and, in doing so, enabling them to look beyond the end of each day towards an empowered future.
THE SUPERHERO
A One Dad Musical
Every Dad wants to be a superhero for his kid...
...And Colin Bradley gets his chance when he dons a costume to protest the family courts’ treatment of fathers. But the battle has just begun. Can Colin win his case for custody or will his ex-wife leave the country with his daughter? THE SUPERHERO is a funny, touching look at one man’s fight for justice and one father’s right to see his little girl.
