Terry Butcher is a name etched into English football history — synonymous with blood, bravery
and uncompromising leadership. A defender revered as “a man you wanted in the trenches,” his
image became iconic: bandaged head, bloodied shirt, driving his team forward through sheer
will. But Terry Butcher: Invisible Wounds goes far beyond the mythology of the pitch, revealing a
deeper, more human story.
In 2017, Butcher’s son Christopher, a British Army veteran, passed away after battling severe
PTSD — a loss that shattered the former England captain in ways no opponent ever could.
Forced to confront grief, trauma and vulnerability, Butcher faced a reality far removed from the
identity that defined his life in football.
Through intimate access and powerful testimony, the film traces his journey from loss to
purpose. Alongside Butcher’s own account, contributions from Gary Lineker, Ally McCoist,
Kieron Dyer and Alan Brazil reflect on his legacy, character and the wider impact of his story
beyond football.
At its core, the documentary shows how Butcher transformed unimaginable grief into action
through Combat2Coffee, the peer-support organisation founded by Nigel Seaman. It is a
powerful exploration of resilience, identity, and the redefinition of strength, revealing that true
courage lies not only in moments of glory but also in the quiet determination to carry on.

Faced with increasing discrimination, Yoyo decides to leave Malaysia. Despite the challenges, Faris chooses to stay, determined to continue using their music as a platform for advocating for freedom and equality, refusing to let the pressures of society silence their voice.

A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning) enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.
OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations. OUR LAND takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker László Nemes (Son of Saul), ORPHAN is a visually stunning historical drama from a true cinematic visionary.

The reality that follows is far tougher.
Celebrating Mel Brooks' 100th Birthday (one day early). When talking about film parody it's impossible not to think of Mel Brooks. Blazing Saddles is quintessential Brooks - a Western spoof loaded with inside jokes, anachronisms, toilet humour and the director's favourite actors performing his favourite form of broad burlesque comedy. Cleavon Little is Bart, a black sheriff hired by the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) to get the residents of Rock Ridge, who live in the way of his railroad, to sell out. But the plan backfires and the new sheriff and his deputy, the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder), a reformed gun-and-bottle-slinger, stand up against Lamarr and his thugs. For sheer offensive-jokes-per-minute Blazing Saddles may still hold the world record. Still, many hail the film as an unflinching satire of racism. And let's not forget that the film was nominated for three Oscars - Best Supporting Actress (Madeline Kahn, doing a hilarious takeoff on Marlene Dietrich in Destry Rides Again, 1939), Best Editing and Best Song.

But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
