Feature doc to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, looking at the role of music in the camp. Combining documentary with stylised drama and musical performances shot around Auschwitz itself.
The Guardian: *****
“An exceptionally moving film that will ring in your ears for years.”
“Any documentary about the Holocaust will force you to stare into the abyss. This one digs into cerebral ideas while unflinchingly documenting the atrocities carried out at the camps. It doesn’t let us forget about Auschwitz’s corpse mountains for a second, while it poses questions about art and humanity that should ring in your ears for years to come.”
Listed in The Guardian’s Best TV of the Year, 2025
The Times: *****
“Brutal, complex and utterly unforgettable”
“This is not a performance,” (Petra Gelbart) said. “This is a testimony.” And so, in many ways, was this stunning film.”
The Sun: “It’s not a subject that has often before been talked about – making it all the more important to hear.”
Daily Telegraph: *****
“This breathtaking documentary will stay with you forever”
“The Last Musician of Auschwitz found a way that was so stunning and so profound that once you have watched it, you will never forget it.”
Executive Producers: Alan Clements, Danny Cohen and Emily Blavatnik.

Lead Director
Working alongside Oscar winner Asif Kapadia, I developed the series style and directed two episodes. I directed a cast of A-List talent including Dua Lipa, Chris Martin and Little Simz, to create a hybrid narrative led by archive and performances, combined with actuality and interviews with A-list talent. I also led work with the GFX team and DoP’s to create stylised sequences across the series.
