Mission
When the first mission to Mars takes place one of the astronauts not chosen to go has to face up to the prospect of being left behind. It is his young son, however, who must carry the greatest burden. This moving character-driven piece, strikingly shot with great performances slides through its 20 minutes gracefully and engagingly. It was directed by Mark Buchanan and stars Emun Elliott, Peter Strathern and Siobhan Redmond.
