Dramadoc:

Paul’s dramadocs have mainly explored secret or forgotten worlds: cocaine dealing (
SECRETS AND LINES), the motives of people who commit pseudocide (VANISHED), the building of the Brooklyn Bridge (SEVEN WONDERS OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD), the psychology of high-functioning alcholics in the workplace (PISSED ON THE JOB), the buildup to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath (HIROSHIMA), and the experience of being kidnapped by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (ALIVE: KIDNAPPED IN THE KILLING FIELDS).

HIROSHIMA - a 90 minute international co-production for the BBC - won a BAFTA Award for Visual Effects and an International Emmy for Best Documentary.
