Embankment Films Behind Features On Miners Strike & Drug That May Treat Dwarfism


Embankment Films is making Miners Strike & Dwarfism documentary features, one for ITV.

Directed by award-winner Daniel Gordon ( Hillsborough), the movie will use powerful personal testimony and previously hidden government documents to describe a conflict that cut right to the heart of Britain’s social and political consciousness – a clash that encompassed class, community, masculinity, the role of women, relationships, marriage and family. The one-hour special follows three young people from America, Britain and Australia, and the clinical geneticist who has led the development and application of the drug Vosoritide, which families were told would make a child “significantly taller” when used. The passion of these incredible directors, Daniel and Riccardo, is reflected in our drive at Embankment Films to not only work with the world’s very best filmmakers, but to bring their voices and vision to the screen, in unique and ambitious, premium documentaries.”
