We have teamed up with exciting BAFTA award winning filmmaker Mike Ogden to raise finance and produce his bold script 'Arena', a story inspired by the narrative similarities of two events 75 years apart. One in our home city of Manchester, the other in 1943 Poland.

This is a bold script, which requires attention to detail, big locations and a period art department. We have a brilliant crew lined up to work on this project, but this isn't a project that can happen on pennies alone. We've already had so much support from Mancunians and across the world, and we love how much of a community project this has become. Please keep giving!
