Documentary

Sikhs of Smethwick (BBC4, 2016), which liquifies the visual history of my hometown community, emerged from my artist film Year Zero: Black Country. My quest to present sourced footage inspired the multi-part series on BBC4 “A Very British History” about the travelling community, blacks of Birmingham and Jews of Leeds, among others, which for two seasons.

My latest documentary film, a feature titled Green Lions, was inspired by a trip to Cameroon in 2016. It broadcast on BBC4 in Nov 2022.
