TV

The Near Future

A documentary film concept based on projected global future lives has been proposed, provoked by my work on alternative future scenarios for a World Bank project.

Radio

Global Voices

I grew up surrounded by the sound of BBC radio, which is probably the best entertainment bargain in the world. It proved that, beyond news and music radio embraces the artistic possibilities of drama, comedy and documentary.

Global Voices is a project in collaboration with Dean Olsher (The Next Big Thing)to develop radio pieces that will take audiences into the intimacies and quirks of the daily lives of peoples around the world. Our proposition is that Americans mostly learn about ordinary people in distant places only as background to wars and disasters, and therefore miss the intimate fascination and to be found in normal lives. We would like to put that right. We are talking to a foundation about financing a trial run.
