Career

Bullman’s documentaries have six Bafta nominations.

The Man Who Bought Mustique (2000), about Lord Glenconner, the mad English Lord who ran amok in the Caribbean, was nominated for Bafta [1] and RTS Awards [2] and was a favourite of David Bowie’s. [3] [4][5] [5] [6]

England is Mine/Dogumentary (2002) was made with Lars Von Trier’s Dogme 95 movement. In the film an English football hooligan finds love and redemption at the Japan World Cup.

The Seven Sins of England (2007), shot in Bullman’s home town, filmed modern day binge drinkers and hooligans delivering the real words of Edwardian yobs, 12th century binge drinkers and Victorian louts. It was Bafta nominated[6] and won the Grierson Innovation Award [7] and a Royal Television Society Award. [8]

The Secret History of Our Streets (2012-14) in which each episode was the history of a single London street,[9] [10] [11] [12] was Bafta nominated and won Royal Television Society and Grierson Awards for the Best History Series and the Grierson Audience Award. [13] [14]

In 2018 Bullman turned to scripted drama as he began to dramatise real-life stories.

His first drama, Killed by my Debt (2018), is the true story of Jerome Rogers, played by Chance Perdomo, a young gig economy worker, who, overwhelmed by the pressure of debt arising from two traffic fines, took his own life. The film’s exploration of subsistence debt, the gig economy and a cynical debt collection industry led to a national campaign and calls for reform in the UK Parliament.[15] [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Killed by my Debt won five-star reviews, [23][24][25][26][27][28] the Bafta for the Best Single Drama. [29] The Royal Television Society Award for Best Single Drama [30] and the Broadcast Awards for Best Single Drama, Best Digital Drama and Best Multichannel Drama. [31][32] Bullman dedicated the Bafta to Jerome’s real life family who campaign for a change to the law. [33] The Left Behind (2019) tells the story of Gethin, played by Sion Daniel Young, who, with no secure job, housing or future, gets drawn into a far-right hate crime. The film is based on research in Britain’s ‘left behind’ communities, and the work of professor Hilary Pilkington, who spent 3 years embedded with an English Defence League group. The Left Behind won the Bafta for Best Single Drama [34] and The Royal Television Society’s Best Single Drama Awards, 2020 [35] and has been nominated for 5 British Academy Cymru – Best Television Drama, Best Director: Fiction, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Make Up.[36] *
