Robin Barnwell

I am a multi award-winning documentary filmmaker and an accomplished cinematographer / director of photography. My filmmaking is diverse and includes feature, observational, history and current affairs documentaries. I have worked in many of the most challenging and hostile environments on the planet, including numerous war zones. I am a highly experienced journalist (Journalist of the Year - FPA awards - 2023 and British Journalism Awards - 2019), focusing on ground-breaking investigations and human rights. In recent years, documentaries I have directed, produced and filmed have won three Peabodys, two International Emmys, a BAFTA, two Prix Italia, two Venice TV, two Griersons, British Journalism, two Amnesty, Bayeux War Reporting, Monte Carlo Nymph, two FPA, and two AIB documentary awards. Programmes I made have been nominated for a Peabody, four BAFTAs, three Broadcast, two Rory Peck, two International Emmys and eight Royal Television Society (RTS) programme awards. I was nominated for the Director: Factual BAFTA in 2020. I make films that are cinematic, intimate, emotional and raw, which tell powerful, dramatic human stories, giving large audiences real insight into our world.
