Newsnight: Grenfell the 21st Floor – BBC 2, 1 x 30’ (2017)

Producer/Director

Royal Television Society Journalism Award Winner of Home News Coverage of the Grenfell Tower fire for BBC, Newsnight 2018.Nominated for Best Current Affairs Documentary Royal Television Society Journalism Awards 2018

Each floor of Grenfell Tower is a kind of microcosm of London – and of the tragedy that unfolded that terrible night in June. This is the harrowing story of the 10 adults and five children who lived on the 21st floor. Nine of them survived the fire. Six of them - and one unborn baby - perished. The film took many months of research piecing the stories of what happened on that night and following the story and filming events in the area around Grenfell. I was responsible for access to survivors, directing and producing interviews with survivors and family members as well as following events in the community, and edit producing. Some of the interviews from the film were used in the Grenfell Inquiry as evidence.

The film was repeated at primetime on BBC2.
