 In
one capacity or another I have been responsible for more than a hundred
documentaries, many of them for the BBC, but many also for other organizations.
Their lengths have varied from short items in the BBC-TV magazine
program Panorama to Ten Years of What? - a two and a
half hour round up of the 1960s, broadcast on the BBC on December
28 1969. On one of my earliest assignments I was filming at Elat,
Israel on the Gulf of Aqaba; on one of my latest I was back
in the Holy Land directing the English writer Malcolm Muggeridge.
Several of my documentaries have been screened on television networks
and cable companies in North America. |

first experiment in democracy, known as the Weimar Republic, covering

art of the period, draws on the experiences of those who lived through
it, and makes extensive use of newsreel archives.
