Brixton friends,

I'm trying to track down this guy .... i heard a rumour he lives/lived in Brixton.
He made a documentray for Channel 4 in 1992 called "Brazil: Beyond Citizen Kane'. It has been banned in Brazil ever since but only crap quality versions exist on youtube or the underground dvd circuit.
So .. I've made it a mission to try and track down a quialty version, coz Brazilians are crying out for it.

Thanks for your attention!

IMDB and the BFI seem to think that he's dead, I'm afraid.

Why don't you contact the British Film Institute and see if they've got a copy?

You could also try getting in touch with C4 - they must have it in their archive. Someone who used to post here and may still read this site occasionally actually works there so he might be able to help.

Also, if it's Channel 4 there's a couple of people on here who work there
