Blood, Mud and Tarmac

Role: Concept, Director

Type: Documentary - Discovery Channel

Duration: 28 mins

The proposed extension of a motorway near Passchendaele would take it right through a WW1 battlefield. This is the final resting place of thousands of unknown British soldiers who were never recovered from the mud. The film examines the conflict between the need for infrastructure improvements in the area and the desire to retain the sanctity of a site where so many fell. Since this film was made, the Flemish local government has cancelled plans to extend the road.
