Mental Health The Barbershop

In September 2021, Bedford barber Fabio Moliterno took his own life after years of struggling with his mental health. In this deeply personal and powerful story, Fabio's family and some of the staff from his barbershop have embarked on a campaign to raise mental health awareness. We follow them as they undertake suicide intervention training to help tackle the issue of male suicide.

According to the Office for National Statistics, 75 per cent of people who take their own lives in the UK are men, a consistent trend going back at least to the mid 1990s. The Moliterno family's training is organised by a gym charity that is working to get mental health awareness into male-dominated spaces such as sports clubs and barbershops. The project is close to gym owner Dorian's heart, as he was friends with Fabio.

For Fabio's loved ones, the training is a difficult and emotional journey. His older brother Franko, a DJ and music producer, has found solace channelling his grief into a song for Fabio. The track, featuring lyrics by some of Fabio's friends, promotes mental health awareness and aims to spread a message to men that it's OK to talk.

Married at First Sight

Married at First Sight is an extreme social experiment that follows six brave singles yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to a provocative proposal: getting legally married to a complete stranger the moment they first meet. Four specialists – sexologist, Dr. Logan Levkoff; psychologist, Dr. Joseph Cilona; sociologist, Dr. Pepper Schwartz; and spiritual advisor, Greg Epstein – create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific matchmaking. The couples will not meet until they walk down the aisle and see each other face-to-face, for the first time, at the altar. Over the course of several weeks, episodes capture each couple's journey as they go from wedding, to honeymoon, to early nesting, to the daily struggle of working on their marriage. After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to divorce?

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
