directed by his son Jamie.
Correction

The documentary *Fred* was directed by Paul Van Carter, not by Freddie Foreman’s son Jamie.

Full reasoning

Multiple film-industry sources identify Paul Van Carter as the director of Fred. The British Council’s UK Films Database lists the film’s Director as Paul Van Carter, and Salon Pictures’ own documentaries page also credits Director: Paul Van Carter for Fred. A 2017 trade report on Lionsgate’s acquisition of the film likewise says “Fred” was written, and is directed by, Salon’s Paul Van Carter. I found no credible source crediting Jamie Foreman as the director of this documentary.

Fred was released in the UK on 17 March 2018.
Correction

That date is incorrect: *Fred* had its world premiere at CPH:DOX 2018, its UK premiere later at the East End Film Festival, and its UK home-video release on 4 June 2018.

Full reasoning

The available release information contradicts 17 March 2018 as a UK release date. The British Council’s UK Films Database says Fred was an Official Selection at CPH:DOX 2018 – World premiere, meaning its first public showing was at the Copenhagen festival, not a UK release on 17 March. Cineuropa’s coverage of the 2018 East End Film Festival says Fred would have its UK premiere there, and that festival ran 11–29 April 2018, which is after 17 March. For commercial UK release, HMV’s Lionsgate UK DVD listing gives Released: 4th June 2018. Taken together, these sources show that 17 March 2018 is not the correct UK release date.
