'Freedom of the sea' "While I was making the film, I learnt in more detail about the joys, as well as challenges, my family left behind in Iran."Rosie said the documentary featured her family's journey to a country where they could enjoy freedom while still cherishing the memories of the home they once held dear."Growing up I don't think I had ever truly appreciated what my family had been through," she added the documentary had a strong focus on the sea."My family being able to swim in the sea together is a perfect encapsulation of the freedom they found in the UK," she explained."This film highlights the rights and liberties we take for granted, and how something as simple as swimming in the sea at my local beach is a huge privilege."

Actress Rose Ayling-Ellis said she was "honoured" to be the host of the 2025 Into Film Awards."I am so impressed with the creativity and brilliance of all the young people involved," she said."The standard of the nominated films is extraordinarily high and just shows how important it is to give young people a voice through filmmaking."Fiona Evans, chief executive of Into Film, added: "These awards are a celebration of young people's talent.

Peter Andre issues stark warning to daughter Princess as she turns 18 and follows in mum Katie Price's footsteps
PETER Andre celebrated his daughter Princess turning 18 with photos from her life - but shared a stark warning on her birthday. The proud dad reflected on the milestone but told her to "be careful in this crazy world" as she takes her first steps into the spotlight. 5 5 5 Peter said: "Not enough words. So much love. My little girl is no longer a little girl. "Keep being you. Kind, funny, sensitive, considerate and a bit bonkers….. oh, and a diva. But a diva full of heart. "I know I tell you everyday but I'll say it again. I love you so much. "Happy 18th beautiful and please stay happy. But be careful in this crazy world. Im always here. Always. Dad." It comes as her mum Katie Price was forced to delete her birthday tribute to Princess - as she posted it 48 hours early. The mum-of-five took to social media to wish her eldest daughter a happy birthday on Friday. The 47-year-old who is currently in Dubai posted a sweet photo of her daughter on social media. She captioned the image: "Happy 18th Birthday to the most amazing daughter. "And my best friend @princess_andre. I love you so much." But Princess Andre was born on the 29th of June and Katie posted it on the 27th. Realising her mistake, Katie then deleted her post and put up another image of her stunning daughter. This time she captioned it with two love hearts and said: " 2 days until Princess turns 18 can't believe it xx." Princess has already achieved much as she turns 18. She has passed her driving test and shared pictures of her white Audi A1 she had bought. Not only does the young teen have a swanky ride, but she even got a personalised number plate to boot. Princess is already signed to the same agency as older brother, Junior. But she hopes the fly-on-the-wall series will help launch her catwalk career. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Princess is very conscious of the fact her mum got famous very early in her career, so Katie is a big inspiration to her. 'Bagging her own TV show is a huge deal, but producers are keen to stress it is about her and not her famous parents Katie and Peter started their relationship in 2004 after getting together on I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!. They had Junior and Princess during their four-year marriage. But their relationship fell apart in 2009 and they divorced.

Bob Vylan: the rappers who want to ‘dig up Maggie's grave'
Bobby Vylan bounced around the Glastonbury stage, rattling off a foul-mouthed tirade calling for violence that was then broadcast to the nation by the BBC. But this was not the duo's festival performance this year where they called for death to the Israeli Defense Forces in an attack condemned as 'deeply offensive' by the BBC and as 'crossing the line' by the festival organisers. It was instead a rendition of the grime-punk double act's 'Wicked and Bad', in the BBC's own studio, as part of its coverage of Glastonbury 2022. 'Let's go dig up Maggie's grave and ask her where that milk went,' the dreadlocked frontman sputtered while holding a baseball bat, adding: 'Down to storm those Downing doors, run inside and f--- them.' Wearing an England football shirt emblazoned with 'Visit Rwanda' accompanied with a symbol of handcuffs, the musicians continued: 'Eat the rich, eat the rich before they turn and eat your children. England's ending, death's still pending, burn those f---ing buildings.' Bobby Vylan, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, is a self-confessed provocateur whose lyrics are laced with hatred for Britain and calls for the Royal family to be lynched. Robinson-Foster, together with drummer 'Bobbie Vylan', an Arsenal fan from East London whose identity is unknown, formed the duo called Bob Vylan in 2017. The pair have since catapulted themselves into the public eye by leading the crowd in chants of 'Free, Free, Palestine!' at Glastonbury's West Holts Stage crowd on Saturday, adding: 'Death, Death to the IDF!' 'We have done it all' The frontman also ranted about a Jewish record company boss for whom he had worked, shouting: 'Recently a list was released of people trying to stop our mates Kneecap from performing here today. And who do I see on that f---ing list, but that bald-headed c--- I used to f---ing work for. 'So look, we have done it all, from working in bars to working for f---ing Zionists.' The band boasted in a social media post on the day of their performance that they were 'finally at a point where the BBC trust us on live TV!' Their performance, including all the chants, was broadcast in its entirety by the BBC on its live feed, which was subsequently cut for the pro-Palestine Northern Irish rappers Kneecap. 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive,' a BBC spokesman later told The Telegraph. The spokesman said viewers were warned at the time that the footage was offensive, adding: 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Glastonbury Festival said it was 'appalled' by the statements made by Bobby Vylan, adding: 'There will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs. 'However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for anti-Semitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' But the BBC's coverage of Robinson-Foster goes back decades. After starting out as a poet, he came onto the broadcaster's radar in 2005 after he was asked to perform at the Black and Asian Police Association conference in Manchester. In 2007 BBC Suffolk described him as an 'established performance poet' and published a sample of his music. 'Growing up in a boring place' Robinson-Foster, from Ipswich, first became involved in anti-establishment music aged 14, reportedly joining a grime crew called Ear 2 da Street as a slam poet under the alias Nee Hi. He told Trapped Magazine: 'It really just comes from growing up in a boring place. 'People either played football, dabbled in illegal activity or rapped… and I never liked football.' The magazine dubbed Nee Hi 'the Fresh Prince of Ipswich' for his energy and old-school style. Robinson-Foster has talked of the 'ills black and brown and working-class people have endured at Britain's hands'. He told Tribune magazine that Bob Vylan tries to 'wind people up' because doing so is 'one of the ways we can derive enjoyment from living in this country'. 'If I can just say a thing and you'll get upset then that feels like a small victory,' he added. Bobbie, the drummer, similarly told Kerrang!: 'The ends justify the means. Whoever feels insulted about what we've said, well it's got to be done because we've got to have [them] understand this thing we're saying that they might not want us to say.' In one of their songs – Lynch Your Leaders – Robinson-Foster raps: 'You want your country back from who? We want our country back from you. 'Till it all comes tumbling down. And we decide to grab that rope. Hanging today, come and see the hanging. Lynch your leaders.' The group's most well-known song, We Live Here, was inspired by Robinson-Foster's daughter, who announced one day: 'We live here!' 'I knew it was going to be the title for something,' he told Bandcamp, adding: 'Eventually, I came to the conclusion that she'll have the same experience that I did. One day someone will call her 'n*****,' and I can't shield her from that.' His daughter is thought to feature in the album artwork for their recent single, 'Dream Big'. Other lyrics have taken aim at Britain, which they said was 'in dire need of a spanking', and a call to 'kill the f----ng Queen' and 'Burn Britannia'. The rap goes: 'I wipe my back side with that flag. Spit in your mouth then I spit on the crown'. Another song, Take That, says: 'Give Churchill's statue the rope and see if it floats.' The duo also have a vegan hot sauce called 'Burn Britannia', which they sell in collaboration with 'Dead of the Dead'. The band, which has toured with the Offspring, The Hives and Biffy Clyro and performed at Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2021, has previously complained of being 'underestimated'. They wrote on X in 2022: 'It's a shame that people can't get into the tents/stages and we're constantly underestimated by these festivals but we won't be letting it happen again next festival season I promise you that.' They are currently still set to play at Radar festival in Manchester and Boardmasters in Newquay this summer. A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that video evidence from the pair's performance at Glastonbury this year will be reviewed. He said: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.'
