Nick Broomfield

Nicholas Broomfield (born January 30, 1948, in London, England) is a British documentary filmmaker. His father, Maurice, is a photographer. He films with the absolute minimum of crew: just himself and one or two cameramen. This gives his documentaries a distinctive style, Broomfield himself often in shot holding the sound boom.

Current activity

Ghosts: Broomfield is currently working on a drama for Channel 4 inspired by the Morecambe Bay tragedy where 21 Chinese immigrant cockle pickers drowned after being cut off by the tides.
