Black Sheep wins Best Short Documentary at Sheffield Doc/Fest

The Guardian-commissioned documentary Black Sheep, with Production Design by Guy Thompson won the coveted best short documentary award at the Sheffield Doc/Fest.

Directed by Ed Perkins, and produced by Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn, Black Sheep follows the story of Cornelius Walker whose mother moved him and his family out of London after Damilola Taylor was killed in what became one of the UK’s most high-profile murder cases.

The piece is a unique look at a young man’s struggle, dealing with questions of race and family identity.

Congratulations Guy!
