Coming Soon….
With associate producer and editor Josie Bloom, David is currently busy producing his latest documentary Zulu which is about the 1964 adventure film, which depicts the Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulus in 1879.
 
The documentary centres around the film, - the key figures involved in making the film, the actors, the filmmakers and the soldiers who fought at Rorke’s Drift, in addition to discussing whether the film accurately portrays the historical events on which the film is based. 
 
The documentary combines archive news reports from Victorian England and also features interviews with the film historians Dr Sheldon Hall and Julian Fox, in addition to the acclaimed historians and Anglo Zulu War experts Ian Knight and Dr Macadam.  In the documentary, David guides the listener through the complicated political minefield and reasons for the war, while giving the listener a snapshot picture of the individuals involved, including the fascinating tale of the defeated Zulu king Cetawayo who visited England to have tea with Queen Victoria.
