Two films about the status of women in modern Iran by Ziba Mir-Hosseini and Kim Longinotto. 'Divorce Iranian Style' provides a portrait of several weeks in an Iranian divorce court and gives a unique appreciation of the intimate lives of women, who are usually regarded in the West as being second class citizens compared to men. 'Runaway' looks at life in a refuge for young women in Tehran. Following the stories of five girls, who have run away from home, it gives a fascinating insight into the hopes and dreams of young women in a mainly male dominated culture.
Documentary about five young British freestyle footballers who journey across the Americas to Argentina in the hope of meeting their hero, Diego Maradona.

The voyage of adventure and self-discovery that takes these boys far from their homes will change their lives forever. But will they eventually get to meet their idol?

Lauded 1936 documentary, showing the various stages and procedures of the operation of the Royal Mail train delivery service, that remains one of the most instantly recognised films in British film history. It begins with a voiceover commentary describing how the mail is collected for transit. Then, as the train proceeds along the course of its journey, we are shown the various regional railway stations at which it collects and deposits its cargo. Inside the train the process of sorting takes place. As it nears its destination there is a sequence - the best known in the film - in which WH Auden's spoken verse and Benjamin Britten's music are combined over montage images of racing train wheels.
