TOMMY'S HONOUR
2016 BEST FEATURE FILM | BAFTA
A father wants only the best for his son, but struggles to guide him in a world that’s changing as fast as the boy himself.A son blessed with talent, fuelled by ambition, chafes at his father’s commands as he hurtles toward adulthood with all the moxie of untarnished youth. In every generation, a torch passes from father to son. And that timeless dynamic is the beating heart of TOMMY’S HONOUR – an intimate, powerfully moving tale of the real-life founders of the modern game of golf.Set in St. Andrews, Scotland during the hidebound Victorian era, the story opens in 1866 as 15-year-old TOMMY MORRIS (Jack Lowden) heads to the links with his father, TOM MORRIS (Peter Mullan). Already a legend, “Old Tom” is greens-keeper for the
Royal & Ancient golf club, where he established the standard of 18 holes per round; as well as the town’s club- and ball-maker; and thrice winner of the first major golf tournament, the Open Championship – which he founded in 1860.
Tom Morris has secured his place in the history of the ancient game. But Tommy
will soon outshine him, retiring the Open’s prize Championship Belt while still in his teens (by winning it three times in a row), and, as the “dashing young man of golf,” drawing flocks of spectators to the sport and becoming its first
touring pro.
Despite their shared passion, father and son repeatedly clash over the unwritten rules of social class, culminating in Tommy’s marriage to a woman of lower standing with a shameful secret in her past. Tommy’s beloved wife MEG (Ophelia Lovibond) figures in this true story’s climax, as Tom makes a fatal misjudgement that strips Tommy of everything he holds dear. From the ashes of that fateful choice, Old Tom rises to a mission that carries him through the final decades of his life:
Honouring Tommy.
SINS OF SILENCE | Development
Rachel Carson’s book, Silent Spring, is universally acknowledged as one of the most influential books of the 20th Century. Upon publication in 1962, the book was met with reactions ranging from denial, shock, hostility and outright vengeance.
Battling fierce opposition and a life-threatening illness, Carson remained undeterred in her efforts to expose the dangers and shocking abuse of household and environmental chemicals. With a single mindedness of purpose and an unequivocal belief that her research and subsequent novel would be a clarion call to everyone about the devastating effects of chemical exposure to man and nature, she forged ahead.
Because of her fervent and relentless pursuit of the truth and the belief that writing this book was her destiny, Carson is unanimously recognized as the founder of the environmental movement, and her mission remains as relevant and important today as it did more than 50 years ago.
Sins of Silence, is the remarkable true and inspiring story of a reluctant hero — Rachel Carson. A woman, who in the face of the constricting social and cultural norms of her time, dared to pursue a life she believed she was called to live.
