Over dinner in a London café, KSI opens up to Craig David about the pressure of being constantly visible — the fear, the doubt, and the need to keep performing. Craig listens, offering calm, sincere advice drawn from his own experience. At the end of the table sits Digital Farm Animals: silent, masked, and unmoving. What follows is a quietly funny, unexpectedly honest conversation about fame, identity, and the strange comfort of being understood — even when one of you doesn’t say a word.
KSI Has Dinner With Craig David and Digital Farm Animals is a warm, deadpan short comedy about self-awareness, success, and sitting with the weirdness.

The End of The Jungle - The Worldwide Tribe
Producer: The Worldwide Tribe | Director: James John | DOP & Editor: James John
Genre / Feeling: Documentary, Human Rights, Intimate, Honest
In October 2016, as the Calais “Jungle” refugee camp was being cleared, filmmaker James John collaborated with The Worldwide Tribe to document the human impact of its closure. Over just three days of filming and four days in post-production, The End of The Jungle focuses closely on the lived experiences of the refugees themselves — their hopes, anxieties, and reactions to the sudden upheaval of their lives.
Rather than broad political commentary, the film offers intimate, first-person insights: the uncertainty of eviction, the emotional weight of leaving behind makeshift communities, and the struggle to face an unknown future. By avoiding mainstream media tropes and focusing on honest, personal reflection, the documentary reveals a side of the Calais camp rarely shown.
The End of The Jungle is a short, urgent documentary made in collaboration with The Worldwide Tribe — a stark, human portrait of resilience, loss, and the quiet dignity of those caught between borders.
