Exposure

Documentary filmed in secret over the course of a year revealing the extent of the on-going human rights abuses taking place in Iran. Following the death last year of Jina Mahsa Amini after she allegedly flouted the country's strict dress code, Iran erupted into widespread protests. In the wake of this uprising, film-makers for the Exposure strand travelled around the country secretly - and at great personal risk - to meet young women at the heart of the protests, whom the regime still wants silenced.

The story of the search for justice and accountability after a mass grave was discovered last autumn in a forest outside the city of Izium in north-east Ukraine following six months of Russian occupation. This film for the Exposure strand interweaves haunting first-hand survivor accounts of the occupation with access to Ukrainian investigators and secret service agents hunting down the Russians they believe are responsible.

Documentary exploring the human cost of the current British law on assisted dying through the stories of five people who all want the right to die at a time of their choosing, as well as why some feel this is a choice they should never have. This film for the Exposure strand asks if there can be any answer that would satisfy both sides of the contentious assisted dying debate, or whether this delicate issue will remain unresolved in the UK for the foreseeable future.
