In 2024, Katharine filmed and directed KYLE: THE GUNMAN WHO DIVIDED AMERICA for the BBC, described as a “startling film” by The Guardian.  With unprecedented access to Kyle Rittenhouse and his life today as an alt-right poster boy, this immersive documentary tells the inside story of the shooting of two people at a Black Lives Matter protest and is a multi-faceted portrait of a divided America.

As Series Director of 4-part Netflix series SWAMP KINGS Katharine built close relationships with the stars of an American football team for a highly entertaining telling of their epic story.  Combining rollercoaster sporting moments, emotional revelations and stunning visuals, the series debuted at the #1 spot in Netflix’s Top 10 list.

For the BBC series BLAIR & BROWN: THE NEW LABOUR REVOLUTION, Katharine’s film explored the friction between the policy-focused vision of Brown and the ‘charismatic ‘centrism’ of Blair as he rose to lead the party.  Described as “a stirring, illuminating watch” and featuring candid interviews with these two prime ministers and a cast of veteran insiders, the series won Best Documentary Series - Broadcasting Press Guild Awards. 

Painstakingly crafted from soldiers’ helmet cam footage during Afghanistan’s bloodiest summer on record, INTO THE HORNETS NEST for landmark BBC series OUR WAR, was described by Sunday Times as ‘a film that has as much power and poignancy as an epic war movie.’  She was nominated Best Factual Director and the series won Best Documentary Series at the 2013 BAFTAs.  

She has always sought to make compelling, nuanced films that engage with their key audience. For MURDER GAMES, the tragic story of groomed teenager Breck Bednar, Katharine wrote and directed a factual drama to depict the deadly friendship that developed between Breck and his killer. This film continues to be screened in the PSHE curriculum in schools across the UK.
