Proud as punch that Sebastian Junger
has given a nod to DASHING FOR DALLAS.

"Dashing for Dallas is the real deal - straight, raw and unfiltered. A nation that has been at war for this long should know what war feels like for its soldiers, and this film goes straight for it." SEBASTIAN JUNGER, Oscar nominee and award-winning director of HBO documentaries Restrepo (2010), Korengal (2014) and
The Last Patrol (2015)

OBESITY TIME BOMB
UPDATE: Raynham's report made it to the Ministry of Health via the minister for culture media and sports. Their response has done little to convince him of any positive government action. Raynham will be following up with further correspondence. Local NHS have suggested a pilot scheme where Raynham would act as a "Fitness Tsar". These developments will feature in the film production.

OBESITY TIME BOMB has already achieved one its primary objectives. Our very own Dan Raynham has been given approval for his fitness and obesity report to be handed to the UK minister for Health. Dan says "I was expecting a much tougher journey to get to this point, but happily this gives much more room in the documentary to explain my reports mechanisms".
