Tickets for the World Premiere of Out Laws at the 40th BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival are available for BFI Members starting today! Link in comments.

Out Laws, our debut feature documentary, is the ultimate expression of our purpose: channelling a decade of expertise in narrative change to drive tangible social impact.

Currently, over 60 countries still criminalise same-sex intimacy. Out Laws uncovers the colonial roots of these laws and follows the activists—like Friedel Dausab, Rosanna Flamer-Caldera, and Raven Gill—who are risking everything to dismantle them.

This isn't just a film; it’s a strategic tool for justice. We’ve applied the same rigorous methodologies we use for our brand partners to:

- Identify the "Movable Middle": Crafting stories that dismantle myths and bridge emotional divides.

- Narrative Hijacking: Taking terms like "Family Values" and reframing them to prove that laws, not identities, are what tear families apart.

- Insight-Led Storytelling: Moving research off the slide deck and onto the big screen to solve complex problems through human-centred narratives.

Join us at the BFI Southbank this March to see what happens when courageous storytelling meets strategic rigour.

Introducing Youth Connections, a new series exploring the brands resonating with young people.

Every learning in this series comes straight from our internal Youth Collective, The Good Side’s diverse network of 16–25 year-olds across the UK.

Good Collective member shares how the NYC mayoral campaign won over young audiences by ditching the traditional “political playbook” for something that feels people-centered and approachable.

From Arsenal’s prayer circle to Rosalia’s saints 🕊️⚽️

Why did 2025 feel so… holy? In our latest trend drop, we explore The Spiritual Anchor—the reason why Gen Z suddenly turned to faith, ritual, and commitment this year.
It was the year of:

✨ The “Internet Saint” (Carlo Acutis)
💍 The return of the “Early Marriage”
🔮 Witchcraft going mainstream
🙏 The Arsenal “Bible Brothers”

When everything else feels volatile, we crave the stability of the sacred.

Watch the clip to see what this means for 2026 (Spoiler: “Wholesome” is back).

Did you notice how 2025 felt… familiar?

We saw the “Pre-Internet” vibe take over everything. The bands. The fashion. The sudden obsession with doing sports in pairs.

It wasn’t a coincidence. It was a reaction to the “always-on” burnout of the last few years. We call it The Temporal Anchor.

This is just 1 of 5 major anchors that held culture together in 2025.

Tired of hearing the same tired Gen Z takes?

We are too. That’s why we’re flipping the script. Our diverse youth network, The Good Collective, is about to launch a myth-busting video series that unpacks the real stories behind the stereotypes — from ‘boundary-obsessed’ to ‘self-righteous’, and everything in between.

The tropes say more about us than them. And the truth is sharper, bolder and far more useful.

We are proud to launch our report Fractured Futures: a new perspective on youth social cohesion, in collaboration with .

We’ve been uncovering the factors that are shaping young people’s sense of belonging in the UK, from deepening divides to shifting identities. In 2025, barriers to social cohesion are becoming increasingly complex, and young people feel the strain most.

Today at Anthropy 2025, Nicholas Cook joins a panel with and three young experts in social cohesion to explore what’s at stake and what needs to change. They’ll be discussing how the government’s National Youth Strategy could make all the difference, by placing youth social cohesion at the heart of future policy.
