“The Last Peasants” RTS Programme Awards - Jury's comments:
“An outstanding series with stunningly beautiful photography, this poignant portrayal of the reality of rural life in Eastern Europe was a timely commission.”
“Geisha”
“A beautiful, stunningly shot and poignant commentary on contemporary Japan’s least understood cultural caste.”
“Cocaine:Leo And Ze”
“...is an honest telling of a family's desire for a peaceful life in a difficult world. Cameraman Roger Chapman's visuals are stylised only in their consistency rather than any heavy grading or saturation and there is no music manipulating emotions. At a time when City of God provides a colourful and cinematic take on Rio 's streets it is satisfying to feel the strength of a team dedicated to such simple objective honesty.”
“Discovery Atlas - Brazil Revealed”
“One of the most beautifully photographed and moving documentaries I have ever watched.”
