Full programme 39mins This film delves into the heart and soul of Portobello Market, West London. It is one of the most famous street markets in the world. Its eclectic community, funky vibe and vast range of antiques, clothes & food have made this area one of London's popular destinations attracting Londoners and tourists alike. At its core, the film asks one question -- "Is the uniqueness, diversity and community spirit of this urban gem about to come to an end under the influence of multi-national corporations?" The recent closure of a section of the market to introduce a chain department store, plus constant talks about further changes to the area has caused a public outcry among workers, local residents and general supporters of the market. The backlash has resulted in several organised petitions against the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea to save the area from the proposed changes. The campaign has received worldwide support and a strong internet presence notably with the Facebook Fan page titled "Save the Portobello Market" which has almost 40,000 members. The film sets out to discover whether there is a genuine threat to the market covering issues such as commercialisation, increasing property prices plus other social changes within the area. The discussion is played out by various interviews with various parties including the local authorities, market traders and the community themselves. Portobello has such a fascinating history from originally being a farming area to becoming widely known as cultural melting pot which led to housing one of the biggest street festivals in Europe, the Notting Hill Carnival. The film is widely told from the perspectives from those who know it the most...the locals. With statements from the market traders, shoppers, and local residents the spirit of Portobello and the entire community comes across strong allowing the viewer to embrace the passion behind the area, whilst gaining information on the history, culture and diverse fusion of the community.

http://storyofbottledwater.org The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all. Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute.
