Big Pitches at BritDoc

BritDoc has announced the projects up for their first Big Pitch forum, where doc filmmakers pitch for over 1 million Euros to an international panel that includes HBO Doc's Nancy Abraham, Sundance Doc Program's Cara Mertes, Participant's Courtney Sexton, and BBC's Greg Sanderson.

Standouts look to be Tom Eldridge's "Let Me Walk Again," about a Delhi-based doctor who uses stem cell  treatments for incurable conditions, and Mark Henderson's "My Kidnapper and Me," where the director returns to Columbia to face his kidnappers, who reached out to him through Facebook.

Full list here.
