Propaganda

Synopsis:
My great, great-uncle Edward Bernays was the original Ad Man. An Austrian-American, and the nephew of Sigmund Freud, he created unforgettable communication campaigns that launched countless products, saved the reputations of Presidents, toppled foreign governments, supported the Civil Rights Movement, and even inspired the Nazis. He did a lot of good. He did a lot of wrong. But he always knew how to sell it to you. . .

Teddy

Synopsis:
Elephant and Castle. 1956. Saturday night. Teddy and Josie are about to hit the streets of London for a good time. It's pissing it down, they're totally skint, and someone wants them dead - but a little trouble never stopped a Ted from having a good time. Desperate times call for rock 'n' roll. Teddy is a punchy, lyrical ride though the dark and damaged world of 1950s London. Featuring a blistering live performance from Johnny Valentine and The Broken Hearts and an electrifying original score by Dougal Irvine. Expect sex, violence and damn good hair.
