A Leap of Faith - The Making of Jago LIMITED CAPACITY
Limited Capacity seats available

Jago: A Life Underwater is up for no less than five Panda Awards. But it’s a film that very nearly didn’t get made at all. Director James Reed tells his story: how the idea was born and how a small crew of passionate filmmakers managed to pull off the seemingly impossible – a technically innovative production all funded off the back of IOU’s and credit cards, plus the support of a raft of individuals who just would not give up.
