My Beautiful Struggle
A girl with her whole life ahead of her. A terrible accident. An inspiring story of triumph over trauma. Aged 15, Jordan was a happy-go-lucky girl; having fun with friends and loving life. In one fateful moment, everything changed. A car accident left her paralysed from the chest down and shocked her into deep depression. She was on the brink of giving up. But gradually Jordan realised there is hope beyond utter devastation, and life beyond disability. Painstakingly re-learning how to apply her beloved make-up, Jordan began to rebuild her sense of self and empowerment. Her body may have been broken but her spirit was not. She is now a successful beauty blogger and her journey of positivity inspires millions around the world. MY BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE is the incredible true story of how one young woman overcame immense challenges, of inner strength that lies beneath outer beauty, of how to believe in yourself and find the light when it feels like all hope is gone.

The Reprobates
Welcome to Munks...the ceiling is sweating, the floor is sodden and sticky with booze and vomit, the music is screaming through the speakers, the air is thick and heavy with sweat, the latest up-and-coming band are making an escape from the stage following their last song, the bouncers stand on the sidelines, watching, numb to the noise – and the wild bunch, the reprobates, throng to the bar to slake an endless thirst. This nightclub, home to the lost, the lonely, and those in perpetual limbo – is now in decline. New owners with wayward ideas are determined to clean up a place of moral bankruptcy. Amongst the rot, the decay, the crime, and the hedonism – a young man tries to save it from ruin, instead of saving both himself and everyone in it. This is a black comedy that turns a tainted mirror on to some of the most accepted and corrosive problems in our society.
