The story of Jessica and her 6 alternate identities, which include a Hollywood actor; a doctor; a hairdresser; a 14-year-old schoolboy and a six year old.

Jessica lives with multiple personalities as part of her Dissociative Identity Disorder. All six live in her body and five of them are male.

Each identity has its own distinctive trait ranging from the use of prescription glasses to being left-handed; neither of which are native to Jessica. Her “alters” exist within a complex system, where they are all known to each other – two of them are brothers, and two of them are partners who have a son.

Through the use of interviews and dramatisation, the true reality of this controversial and often misunderstood condition is finally visualised.

Could you convert a pair of trainers into £1000 in just one month? Streetwear vlogger Kofi takes up the challenge, lifting the lid on the underground streetwear trading scene.

Trainers, kicks, sneakers, creps, whatever you know them as, it is undeniable that footwear and street fashion is big business. From the clamour for the release of new Palace or Supreme drops, to the hysteria that grips the streetwear community when a new pair of Kanye West designed Yeezys come out, the power and pull of exclusive or limited edition footwear is unrivaled in the fashion world.

Streetwear vlogger Kofi (aka The Unknown Blasian) delves into this thriving industry where overnight queues are the norm and the desire to either have something first and exclusive is the Holy Grail.

The mission for Kofi is simple; start with a pair of trainers from Charlie Sloth’s mammoth collection and flip them as many times as possible to achieve the greatest amount of cash at the end of a 30 day period.

Three people tell their stories of living with mental health conditions and coping with delusions that vary from the surreal and peculiar, to the sinister and terrifying.

Blogger Sophie Eliza began hearing voices at the start of her psychosis and gradually became convinced that a threatening group of people were out to get her. Katy’s experience of psychosis started whilst being bullied in college and it was after eventually being sectioned that her most frightening delusions began. Unlike Katy and Sophie, Ed experienced a single episode of psychosis, centred on the delusional belief that he was a sinner.

Understanding the true reality of mental illness and dysmorphic delusions is something that is very hard to comprehend if you haven’t experienced these conditions first hand. Through their moving and personal accounts, and through dramatic reconstruction and visual effects, Sophie, Katy and Ed share their experiences in this intimate, poignant and at times challenging documentary.

Following the lives of terminally ill vloggers who are turning to the digital world to release, vent and share their experiences with friends and family and total strangers.
