Every film is made with sensitivity and empathy for the subject.

'Unbeatable', a 30 minute film drama, highlights the struggles of Rob, a boy in his late teens who has spent much of his childhood in care.
The film was commissioned to show social workers and people working with looked after children the impact that living in care can have on children's lives. "Unbeatable" was developed to put the audience into the shoes of a child and give them a better understanding of the issues looked after children face.
The film was used in workshops with social workers to bring about a deeper level of empathy for the plight of looked after children.
'Unbeatable' was directed by Colin Skevington and co-written by Colin and John Handscombe. The film was co-produced with Wooden Hill, a social enterprise.
