OUR PROJECTS
IRAN SCHOOL BOMBING: THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH
Iran School Bombing: The Search for Truth investigates one of the deadliest single civilian incidents in recent history, the bombing of a primary school on the first day of the US war in Iran. 120 students and 26 teachers were killed.
As competing claims emerge over who was responsible and how the attack happened, Sky News journalists embark on a search for answers. Becoming the first major international news organisation to reach the site, the team gathers eyewitness testimony from survivors and bereaved families. Combined with forensic open-source research and analysis from leading reconstruction specialists Forensic Architecture, this investigation pieces together a detailed account of the strike. The film examines the timing of the attack, the weapons used and a growing body of evidence pointing towards US involvement.
As Dominic Waghorn travels to Washington in search of answers, testimony from former intelligence and military officials raises troubling questions about how the war was conducted. Insiders accuse the administration of obstructing transparency, even as Trump insists the truth behind the strike may never be known.
Throughout, testimony from families who have lost their children grounds the film in the devastating human consequences of war and the desperate need for accountability.
Produced by Full Story Films for Sky News.
SAVAGE MOUNTAIN
Kristin Harila risked everything to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks at record speed. When her final ascent sparked backlash, her greatest triumph became a reckoning.
Kristin Harila stunned the climbing community in 2023 when she set out to become the fastest person to summit the world’s 14 highest peaks. Alongside her climbing partner, Tenjen Lama Sherpa, she achieved what many believed impossible, summiting all 14 in just 92 days and halving the record held by Nims Purja.
But, what should have been her greatest triumph became a reckoning. During the final ascent, Kristin was accused of stepping over a dying porter, triggering a global backlash and fierce debate about ambition, ethics, and who controls the narrative. Drawing on never‑before‑seen footage from K2, the film unpacks the story behind the controversy.
Back in Norway, Kristin struggles to rebuild her life, while in Nepal, Lama joins another climber’s record bid. When tragedy strikes again, Kristin is forced to confront the cost of her record-breaking pursuit.
Savage Mountain is produced by Field Productions and Full Story Films.
GROOMED: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LIE
When Ellie Williams’ allegations of grooming went viral, they tore Barrow apart. Police quickly denied there was a grooming gang and Ellie was jailed, but did the focus on proving one young woman a liar lead to denial of a wider grooming problem?
We re-examine Ellie Williams’ case, revealing details not heard at trial and uncovering links to other women whose abuse was ignored for years, implicating a group of predominantly Asian men. The series explores how far-right groups have weaponised such cases to push their agenda, while agencies, wary of racism accusations, have often avoided confronting perpetrators’ ethnicity.
Told through survivor testimony and with participation from Ellie Williams’ family, the series places Barrow within a long line of grooming scandals and asks: why can’t Britain confront this problem and who pays the ultimate price?
Groomed: The Truth Behind the Lie is produced by Sandpaper Films in co-production with Full Story Films.
CHILDREN NO MORE
Children No More is a poignant observational short that follows a group of peace activists in Israel staging silent vigils to mourn Gaza’s dead children. The film was nominated for an Oscar at the 98th Academy Awards.
As the activist's protests grow in size, their interactions with passers-by's denouncing them become ever more heated. Standing alongside protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages, it's a rare glimpse of a small and little-covered movement trying to build empathy and compassion to challenge the horror of war.
Children No More is produced by Medalia Productions and SALTY Features in co-production with Full Story Films.
