Everest, the world’s highest mountain is the ultimate mountaineer’s challenge, but Stuart is no ordinary climber.  Coping with freezing temperatures, a lack of oxygen and physical fatigue, Stuart must also win a battle with his mind.

The documentary will follow Stuart as he prepares and then climbs Mount Everest to become the first man with schizophrenia to stand on top of the world.  51 million people worldwide have Schizophrenia (over 1% of the planet’s population).  There is no cure. 

In a defining journey Stuart will struggle against sub-zero temperatures, extreme weather, the immense physical strain endured when climbing to the height of jumbo jets and the intense mental stress caused by schizophrenia.  Once he stands on the top of the world, he will have finally conquered a 10 year conflict with his mind.

A story about compassion, loyalty and friendship from a group of teenagers trying to break out of their homeless lives in Russian sewers.

A Russian Fairytale is a story told through the eyes of young adults and children who have spent much of their lives living an almost fairytale existence on the streets of Russia. They escaped the trouble and stress that was affecting the majority of adults in the early 90s and found they could lead a life by their own rules, sleeping where they found shelter and not having to worry about school or work. Now on the brink of adulthood, they are faced with the difficult task of leaving life on the streets and returning to the society which has forgotten them.
