Alex Thomas - Director

For episode two, season two of The Doc Makers podcast, I’m delighted to be talking to the multi award winning director, Alex Thomas.

Alex’s projects include 'Erased: World War Twos Heroes of Colour' and 'Yorkshire Cop: Police Racism and Me', a film made about his Father.

We discuss how he navigated his way from a small mining town in the north of England to becoming a globetrotting filmmaker, before landing back in the UK creating touchstone films like 'Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park' and his most recent film, released earlier this month, 'Damilola: The Untold Story', which the Guardian selected as one of its “50 shows to watch this autumn”.

A genuine creative force and a bloody nice guy to boot.
