Read MoreI secured my first broadcast commission as a Director in 2007 after pitching and winning Channel Four’s Sheffield Documentary Festival New Directors Scheme. The Murder of Billie Jo: Sion Jenkins Story was broadcast on Channel Four in August 2008. Over two million people watched my next film, a self shot documentary The Gatwick Baby: Abandoned At Birth was shown at 9pm on BBC1 in April 2010. The film was bought by BBC world wide. The Boy Who Wasn’t There was my third documentary in which I spent over four years (uncommissioned and self funded) filming with the family of Sam Hallam, wrongly convicted of murder, up until his acquittal and release in May 2012. Since then I produced a C4 Dispatches that examined the fire service response at Grenfell Tower, told by survivors and by forensically examining the data available through the public inquiry. (tx February 2019) Other producer credits include The Secret Life of a Bus Garage for ITV ("a lovely film" The Guardian) and location producer for The Real Marigold Hotel (BBC1) for the first, second and third series. My work on BBC2's The Nilsen Files was commended for its forensic journalism. I was a producer on The Great Rhino Robbery, an enviromental series told through a true crime lense. 2024 Winner of True Crime Awards: Impact For Change. My most recent role is as Series Producer on Defiance, a social history series that tells the story of how british asians fought back against racist violence in the 1970s' and 80's, released to much critical acclaim:"This striking three-part documentary - showing throughout the week-does a compelling job of telling the personal and political stories behind Britain's Asian community as it faced violence and murder between 1976 and 1981.” — The Guardian ★★★★
