Career

In 2012, Bogado won the Rory Peck Sony Impact award for "Terror in Sudan", [2] a documentary describing human rights abuse in Sudan by the Government of Omar al-Bashir. The documentary showed Bogado and reporter Aidan Hartley watching a series of Antonov military aircraft circling the area of the Nuba Mountains where filming took place. [3] As well as the Rory Peck award, it also received a nomination at the following year's Royal Television Society Independent Spirit awards. [4]

In 2014, Bogado filmed "Nigeria's Hidden War" for Channel 4's Dispatches series, showing unwarranted violence by the Nigerian government towards civilians as part of its struggle against the extremist group Boko Haram. [5] The documentary was nominated for the Foreign Press Associated Feature Award and the following year it won Broadcast Best Current Affairs Programme. A US version of the documentary was made for PBS Frontline and won an Emmy Award for Best Investigative Journalism in a News Magazine. [6]

In 2014, he produced and directed "15 and Learning to Speak", a story about a deaf teenager in Uganda who is taught sign language for the first time in his life. [7] Bogado chose to film in the country because he had heard there was significant stigma there about deaf children and decided it would be a wonderful idea to film a deaf child learning to communicate. His visit was well received by local children. [8] A five-minute clip from the film was broadcast on the social media sites YouTube and Facebook, quickly gaining widespread support, with favourable comments on Twitter. [9]

More recently, Bogado series directed Netflix's new seven-part Brazilian true-crime series on Wallace Souza, called "Killer Ratings" (Bandidos Na TV). [10] Bogado said, “What I thought I knew about Wallace Souza when I set out, turned out only to be the starting point of this extraordinary story. When I looked deeper, I saw the events that followed were full of the most jaw-dropping turns, twists and shocks which would be deemed too outlandish in a Hollywood script.”

In 2021, Bogado directed 9/11: One Day in America , a documentary series for National Geographic revolving around the 9/11 terrorist attacks. [11]
