Film critic Danny Leigh profiles a pioneer of modern docudrama who directed Culloden and The War Game. The War Game was a harrowing examination of an escalating nuclear confrontation, commissioned by the BBC's The Wednesday Play strand but not screened on television for another twenty years. It was shown abroad and won an Academy Award in 1966 for Best Documentary Feature. British Film Mavericks is Danny's personal take on the brilliant outsiders of modern British cinema. Danny Leigh's British Film Mavericks is part of the Genius of British Cinema season.
