Documentaries can sometimes give you an insight into the inner-life of recognisable figures, sometimes bring important issues to your attention and, sometimes, simply hold up a mirror to life.

Using recently shot footage alongside well-edited photography, Running Through Life makes for a delightful insight into a person's life that is at once well-told, succinct and bravely personal.

"Animals have always been a big part of my life growing up on the farm. Mum and Dad were hard workers and still are today. From goats to jersey cows, all our animals held special characters. Me and my brothers earned our pocket money through mucking out the stables. But I never fully appreciated the special innate connection my Mum has with her horses”
