Hanna migrates from Bosnia to the UK where she takes on a job looking after a burns victim on an oil rig. At first she refuses to reveal personal details but as time goes on, she opens up to him about her horrifying ordeal. Great performance from Polley.

A wonderfully inspiring and entertaining film about Doris Haddock (Granny D) who at the age of 90 walked across America to protest against big money in elections, before running for the US senate in 2004 at the age of 94. Very highly recommended. Available from grannyd.com.

This colourful high-school comedy, set in the genderbending ’80s has a queer twist. It sees openly gay Chance Marquis team up with a flamboyant drag queen and a sexy jock to fight the bullies who’ve been bugging him. Chance learns the only way to fit in is to stand out.

Fascinating ‘rock-umentary’ of Wendy O Williams who made the Sex Pistols look mellow. Challenging gender stereotypes and authority got this punk/metal, risk-taking feminist into trouble, but still she kept pushing the envelope. Highly recommended. Available from amazon.com.
