A new film coming soon!
Following the true and incredibly powerful story behind the BAFTA award-winning film Pride, and the lasting impact this story has had on communities 40 years later.
The documentary features exclusive access to a range of key contributors, including former Labour MP Siân James (played by Jessica Gunning in Pride), LGSM co-founder Mike Jackson (played by Joe Gilgun in Pride) and Jonathan Blake (played by Dominic West in Pride).
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist, Tayce, dons her iconic Welsh dragon look to narrate the film, telling the powerful tale to a group of children in a playful and poignant story time session which highlights the lasting impact this story has had on communities 40 years later.
Striking With Pride: United at the Coalface coming 1st June to Sky Documentaries.
bafta babes!
We are so happy we won a bafta and To Catch A Copper was recognised by our industry peers. thanks so much for everyone’s lovely special messages. 🥰
Chuffed to bits that To Catch A Copper had been BAFTA nominated for Best Documentary Series. Congrats to the whole amazing team and endless thanks to those in the film and being the scenes who made it possible.
So fabulous to be nominated for 3 RTS and RTS West awards for To Catch A Copper. I wanted to take this opportunity to big up @hugopettitt who produced the series and worked relentlessly to make it the best it could. He was fearless and bold and kind and got what we needed for the films through trust, genuine care and deep consideration for those he builds relationships with.
We’re so proud To Catch A Copper won the award for Best Documentary Series at the Broadcast Awards. This week we learnt police complaints have risen 13pc as a result of the series and we’re so pleased it’s having an impact that will hopefully improve policing and people’s experience of it. Big thanks to the judges for recognising the show. ❤️🔥
💚 NEW WORK💚: Proud to share this project that we produced for Grenfell Athletics with Brothers & Sisters, Kitlocker and Nike. As director Ashley Francis-Roy said: “It was incredibly special for us all at Missing Link Films to have had the opportunity to work with survivors of the Grenfell fire and those in the local community on this film. This beautiful project honours the memory of those lost in the fire and creates an empowering moment of healing for those still dealing with its aftermath.”
Massive thanks to @broandsisldn@azzafozza@brittony_c@fluffyhiggins@lydia_knights , our generous crew and partners, @grenfellathletic_fc and the resilient community who continue fighting for justice 💚

For me September 2024 marks ten wonderful years of filmmaking. I wanted to look back at the amazing moments I’ve been lucky to be part of and the very special people behind and in front of the camera that I’ve had the privilege to meet. I’ve learnt so much, and it’s so nice to feel that filmmaking can be such an important and meaningful thing for everyone involved. Thanks to all of you who have been part of the journey with me and I can’t wait for many more films. 💗
I’m so pleased that To Catch A Copper has been shortlisted for a Grierson award and so proud Channel 4 has commissioned a further two series.
Since the series was released it has prompted some incredibly meaningful and impactful conversations around policing and forced Avon and Somerset force to properly look at itself in a way it’s never seen before. But still one of the most horrific cases in the series - and the most obvious example of gross misconduct - remains unresolved. So many people have messaged me with horrific stories about the police - and most are messaging me because they feel the system has failed them.
Whilst I won’t be directing the new series i’m so pleased this in-depth police scrutiny will continue on Channel 4.
