After working as an assistant to the renowned filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski, Isaacs has created three films that each capture a part of modern life in Britain. The first, 'Lift' (2001), is filmed in the elevator of a tower block in the East End of London, and captures the different reactions and behaviour of those who enter it. The second, 'Travellers' (2002), is a touching film about the human need for love, which is shown through the stories of five different people Isaacs meets on trains and at train stations across England. The third film, 'Calais - The Last Border' (2003), examines a host of interesting characters that includes refugees and migrants desperate to cross The Channel to England, and Steve who runs an English pub in the French harbour town.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>

<b>OBS!

Believing it to be a place where dreams can be realised, many diverse characters alight on London every day in the hopes of finding a better life, but what this film shows is that not every story is a success story. From Iqbal Ahmed's struggle to earn enough money so that his wife can join him to Keelta's dreams of becoming a recognised singer, the film highlights the isolation and hardships that many are forced to contend with.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
