TRANSATLANTIC

Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of the First World War to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. Among the letters being carried on the aircraft is one which will not be opened for almost a hundred years.

ZOLI

Zoli, a young Roma girl living in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, suffers at the hands of fascists and later under the Nazis. She then becomes a singer, and unusually for a Roma, teaches herself to read and write. Following the publication of her work, the government tries to use her to help ‘settle’ gypsies and her community condemns her.
