Connections – Lots of people describe themselves as “spiritual” even if they aren’t religious, but what does that mean? In this beautiful film, six very different people describe how they connect with something beyond themselves – through craft, dance, performance, prayer, writing, helping others, and exploring the natural world. In each case, finding something they love to do has helped them find themselves and given their lives a purpose.

Awkward… those moments when you don’t know what to do or what to say. The subjects we’re taught at school – like Maths and English – help us to deal with a lot of situations, but when it comes to sex and relationships, we’re often left without the answers.
