Reel Life – Documentaries
Sometimes, the camera is there to capture and record truth. And often that truth is stranger, more powerful, more disturbing, than fiction can ever hope to be. REEL LIFE is a series of unblinking documentary portraits of people and places, actions and emotions, triumphs and tragedies. In short, of life itself, in all its mess and muddle.
We've a virtual tour along a legendary route in A12: ROAD MOVIE; two extremes of the sporting world, from the laconic study of Wigan's pigeon fanciers, COCKS AND HENS to the bruising exploration of professional wrestling, HARD KNOCKS, and we've two explorations of the pain of loss - a tour of HOUSE 149, abandoned after a divorce, and a heartbreaking portrait of one father's attempts to deal with the disappearance of his beloved son in DEAR MATTHEW.
