Spent the past few months working on this film for @BBCPanorama. I tracked down hundreds of individuals convicted for joining (often violent) riots across the country last summer. Many told me their stories but just three were willing to speak on camera.

Tonight’s BBC documentary was just 30 minutes long but so relevant, because we live in a time of fake news and short memories. Never again. There is still joy in this film, as Harry and Arek return to Windermere where they had been rehabilitated in 1945. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

So sad to learn about the death of Auschwitz survivor Lily Ebert. @jennymparks and I had the privilege of interviewing her on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2022. May her story and legacy never be forgotten❤️ bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0bkt31…

Quite a crisis unfolding in Israel, perhaps a defining one about whether it's a legally based democracy or a faith defined ethno-state. Military Police went to the Sde Teiman base to arrest 9 soldiers accused of abusing Palestinian detainees held there 1/
