WRITER / DIRECTOR

3 x 60’

A boxset documentary series combining spoken drama, actuality, and interviews with major international drug traffickers, gangsters, and dealers. The series tells the story of Ibiza’s drugs boom – from the hippie era of drugs like LSD, hash and MDMA, to the ecstasy-fuelled explosion of the clubs, and the rise of cocaine and organised crime.

Described as ‘fascinating’ by The Sun in a five-star review, ‘eye-opening’ by The Mirror, ‘executed in a lively, entertaining way… with characters who are strikingly honest… getting them to talk so openly is the series’ best achievement’ by The Times, ‘vividly brought to life’ by The Guardian, ‘a rich cast of contributors’ by the Radio Times, and ‘the documentary’s weird and wonderful interviewees are brilliantly chosen’ by The Standard.

I wrote and directed the documentary and drama across the series, taking all three episodes through the edit.
