TV-Documentaries and Lectures


After many years of work as an employed journalist on both film and TV-productions, I decided, it was time to do my own TV-documentaries. I now work as an independent film-director and I just finished my second documentary film.

In 2000 I made my first TV-documentary called, "Crocodile Trophy" from the australian desert. It was broadcasted on danish TV in 2001.

My latest TV-documentary, "Black Dreams on Wheels" is recorded in South Africa in 2004, and right now, I am negotiating with both danish TV and TV stations abroad regarding broadcasting of the film.

To get more information about the TV-documentaries, please read the following synopsises.

 

 


Synopsis on the TV-documentary, "Crocodile Trophy"

The film is about one of the worlds hardest mountainbike-races in Australia. The race starts in Alice Springs and ends in Kuranda. In 14 days, competitors from all around the world, will have to bi-cycle 2000 kilometres in various sorts of terrain.
This TV-documentary describes 4 danish bi-cyclists and their fight to finish the race and to survive in the rough australian "Outback".

 

 


Synopsis on the TV-documentary, "Black Dreams on Wheels"
Duration 54 minutes

The story is about Patrick, Nicholas and Brinley, who are dreaming about being South Africa´s first "blacks" with success in international cycling. To test their potential, they are competing in one of the worlds toughest mountainbike-races called, "The Cape Epic".
But unlike many of their "white" opponents, the 3 young men have had a tough childhood. They are all born and raised in South Africa´s "Townships", cities where many black people live under poor and rough conditions.
This TV-documentary both describes where they live, how they train, their fight to finish the race and their hopes and ambitions for the future. And who knows, maybe one of these guys will become a world champion some day !
