Seven Foundation. World Premiere at Sundance Film Festival & now streaming on Netflix
Graham Taylor is an accomplished, award-winning editor with an abundance of documentary experience. He is a true collaborator: passionate, inventive, and committed to pushing the boundaries of what editing can achieve. Graham spent nearly a year in the edit with The Stringer, his editing helps to balance the emotional weight of the story with the meticulous unravelling of a two-year investigation.
The Stringer is a gripping and provocative new documentary that has already sparked a global conversation. Released on Netflix today and fresh from a high-profile premiere at Sundance, the film re-examines one of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century, the image widely known as “Napalm Girl.”
For over 50 years, the picture has been credited to Associated Press photographer Nick Ut. This documentary follows journalists Fiona Turner, Terri Lichstein and Lê Vân, as they pursue their own investigation from eyewitness interviews to examining archival footage from the day. Their search eventually leads them to Nguyễn Thành Nghệ, a driver for NBC who sometimes sold photos to international outlets. Now in his 80s, Nghệ appears in the film visibly emotional as he recalls selling the photograph to the AP for $20 and a print, only to spend decades troubled by the missing credit. His claim ignited fierce debate within the photojournalism world.
GT said ” it was an honour and privilege to have a hand in shaping the history of one the most historic photographs ever made. The film stands a reminder that truth and authenticity matters more today than ever, and of the role of independent journalism, and documentary making, in maintaining trust in democratic institutions”.
The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo is out on Netflix now.
Cancer Detectives: Finding the Cures: Dragonfly TV Channel 4
Curing cancer is medicine’s most pressing pursuit in the 21st century. In this new landmark doc series, trailblazing neurosurgeon and scientist Dr Richard Mair and his team work tirelessly on pioneering research through medical trials to achieve that goal. Told using cutting-edge CGI and with insights from visionary oncologists, witness the incredible and candid narrative of patients hoping for a miracle.
Jayesh Lathia who edited episode 1 loved returning to work for Dragonfly with whom he has collaborated on various projects including Surgeons: At the Edge of Life. His experience editing medical series helped him bring out the best of the footage whilst being respectful to the contributors in their vulnerable time. Jayesh told us ‘it was a privilege to have a window into the private moments of cancer patients, their families and the surgeon determined to find a cure for brain cancer. In the edit, it was important to strike the balance between the scientific breakthroughs and patient stories in the most immersive yet sympathetic way possible.’

Box to Box
10th December on Netflix
This new six-part series for Netflix gives viewers unprecedented access to music mogul Simon Cowell as he embarks on his mission to create the next global sensation.
The series has been shot and edited in a dynamic, slick style with lots of graphics, split screens, and montages. From raw open casting calls through to the release of a debut single, the cameras follow every step of Simon’s process, providing a revealing insight into the man behind some of the world’s biggest pop acts.
Charlie Webb has worked with Box to Box several times over the years on projects such as Drive to Survive and Tour de France Unchained. Reflecting on his experience on this project, Charlie said: “I really enjoyed working across the series with the team at Box. It was really demanding in terms of the level of finesse required throughout the cuts , with a lot of advanced VFX techniques used in the Avid. Also juggling the backstories of Simon and the boys was a challenge. But having done that, the series as well as being very slick has so much emotion and heart in every episode.”
Simon Cowell: The Next Act will be available to stream on Netflix from the 10th December 2025.
A specialist in documentaries and drama documentaries, Duncan brings his storytelling craft to every project. Having collaborated with Nutopia several times, his experience shines through in this intimate and emotional film.

Their road trip becomes both a their celebration of family bond and a thoughtful look at how social interaction can support brain health.
We spoke to Duncan about working on the documentary and he said “Editing such a big star on something so personal and intimate and with such a brilliant team was honestly a real pleasure! I’d spent a year in Australia when I was young and carefree, so working on a project with epic landscapes and incredible cinematography felt like a mini holiday every day, okay, maybe not every day, but it was very cool”.
Catch Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember when it premieres 24th November at 9pm on National Geographic, and on Disney+ the same day.

This two part documentary looks at the 1990 robbery of the Bank of England in which £292 million was stolen.

The series has unprecedented access to both law enforcement and criminals at the heart of this mystery.
We’re delighted to share that Episode 2 has been edited byRob Trela, bringing his exceptional storytelling and editorial craft to this complex and cinematic true crime investigation. We chatted to him about the project and he said “It was a really fun, but also quite challenging, edit. We had contributors coming in from all across the world, which always adds an interesting dynamic to the production process. For this series, we drew influences from all our favourite heist films to craft such a high-paced narrative, with Marcel chasing down the story of the largest heist no one has ever heard of. I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved. A big shout-out to an incredible team: Series Director Sam Miller, Producer Riva Japaul, EP 1 Editor Rhyss Hall, DoP Mikołaj Bakalarz, and our fantastic host Marcel Theroux”.
This one’s sure to be criminally good viewing! Heist: Robbing the Bank of England is available to stream on NOW and can also be viewed via Sky Max and Crime+ Investigation from today!

We chatted to Jake about the edit, and he said “South shore are a great company to work for, the people there are smart, committed and very good at what they do. For this season I was given a tricky episode to cut – it wasn’t exactly the biggest event on the racing calendar, but it became its own thing and looked into a side of horse racing which doesn’t get covered very often. I’m proud to have been a part of it, and hope this year goes at least as well as the last”.

What happens when crime moves faster than the law can catch up? That’s the question at the heart of Code Is Law: When Crime Meets Code, a sharp, thought-provoking documentary directed by James Craig and Louis Giles and edited by Aidan Sansom.
The film dives into the chaotic world of cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi), where hackers can steal millions with just a few lines of code and often get away with it. It explores real-life cases of crypto heists and the people left picking up the pieces, blending tech, tension, and human stories in a way that’s both gripping and easy to follow. The film has been described as fast, smart, and surprisingly emotional for something rooted in blockchain and algorithms.
Aidan had access to first-hand testimonies, expert analyses, and a wealth of tweets, press clippings, and digital evidence.
We caught up with Aidan to discuss how he tackled this complex story, “It was a hugely challenging yet ultimately very rewarding project. The world of Crypto is complex, to say the least, and the events taking place in this film were no less so. The real task was in turning them into a compelling story that would keep audiences gripped. Directors James Craig and Louis Giles were very collaborative and open to trying different approaches and techniques to see what worked, and I think we’re all pretty chuffed with the result.”
Code Is Law: When Crime Meets Code is streaming on Prime Video and Apple TV from the 21st October.
