PRESSURE is based on the acclaimed play, the true story of the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. The largest amphibious assault ever has been assembled and any delays risk German intelligence catching on. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) must convince the entire Allied operations led by American General ‘Ike’ Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) to trust his unconventional methods and alter their deployment plans. The lives of millions and the fate of the war hangs in the balance of these few short days.

"This is a serious film in the best sense of the term, a thoughtful film about people facing the direst problems with honor, intelligence, and courage that goes beyond the physical to include fearlessness about pursuing the truth."

Saoirse Ronan delivers a career-best performance as Maria, a desperate teacher in an underfunded school, in this jet-black comedy.

Newly single, scraping by in a run-down house and constantly undermined by her colleagues, schoolteacher Maria is rapidly approaching breaking point. When an unruly pupil continues to push boundaries – and her patience – a split-second decision sparks a chain of events that raises uncomfortable questions about responsibility, authority and the limits of patience. German director Jonatan Etzler holds a mirror up to the contemporary British school system, hilariously cutting through issues around care and discipline with a some surprising and shocking twists. Bad Apples seamlessly blends satire, suspense and social commentary to ask how far any school would go to maintain an outstanding score from Ofsted.

The world-renowned author, who survived a brutal assassination attempt, confronts his past in a deeply personal account of the struggle for freedom of expression by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney.

Fifteen stab wounds in 27 seconds. That is what Salman Rushdie has survived when he opens his only functioning eye and looks directly into the camera. Together with his wife, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, Rushdie decides to document his slow return to life a few days after an assassination attempt in New York.

In the hands of Oscar winner Alex Gibney, a harrowing and deeply reflective story unfolds that follows Rushdie’s rehabilitation – not least of his spirit, humour and optimism. The backstory begins when, after the publication of ‘The Satanic Verses’, Rushdie is issued a fatwa by Iran’s Ayatollah and lives under constant threat for decades while fighting for freedom of expression.
