With extraordinary access to the Moroccan courts, Deborah Perkin’s rousing doc Bastards follows Rabha, an illiterate woman whose daughter is ‘illegitimate’. Living daily with social rejection and discrimination, and with help from a radical Casablanca women’s charity, Rabha fights to win full legal rights for her daughter.

Rebecca Zlotowski’s brilliantly empathic and tense Grand Central is a stark and steamed-up drama amongst low-paid, risk-taking labourers at a French nuclear power plant.
