THE SLOW REVOLUTION - HOW A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT IS CHALLENGING THE CULT OF SPEED (In development)

TV SERIES (UK)
First Series: 6-8 x 60 minutes

INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY
1 x 90 minutes

We all feel under pressure to do everything faster. But faster is not always better. When every moment becomes a race against the clock, when we forget how to slow down, there is a price to pay. Our diet, health and work, our relationships, communities and the environment, all suffer. But there is an alternative to this roadrunner culture. It’s called the Slow Movement.

Working with London-based journalist & writer Carl Honore, a treatment and preliminary script for The Slow Revolution have been developed for commissioning. Carl is author of the international bestseller, In Praise of Slow, and the recently published Under Pressure. To date In Praise of Slow has sold about 75,000 copies in the UK and approximately half a million worldwide.
