DocHouse Conversations: Bringing you thought-provoking discussions from the documentary world.

This week our Programme Associate Carol Nahra welcomes documentary filmmaker Dan Reed. With a career spanning a quarter century, Dan has established a reputation as one of the most dedicated and talented filmmakers working in Britain today.

Long known in the UK, Dan came to worldwide prominence last year with his devastating portrait of sexual abuse Leaving Neverland. The two part Channel 4/HBO film won a number of awards.

This week Carol talks to Dan about his life making documentaries. In an extended edition of the podcast, they take a deep dive into his two very different types of documentaries: observational filmmaking and personal testimony combined with archive.
