Christopher Olgiati is an award-winning television director and producer. Most of his career has been with the BBC in London. Sinatra: Dark Star, for BBC ONE and French, German and U.S. co-producers, was "stylish … superb … magnificent in detail and execution, a thrilling, noireish festival", according to the British press. Critics called Nazi Gold, about Holocaust survivors' search for money missing in Swiss banks, "profoundly moving ... majestically directed ... explosive ... stunning ... monumental." The Nightrider (U.S. title Southern Justice), for the BBC and HBO, about the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, won two CableACE awards in Los Angeles and the Grand Prize and Gold Medal at the New York Festival. Reviewers found it "superb... literally devastating ... potent ... seductive ... spine-tingling ... fascinating ... a brooding, moody gem." Other films include We Can Keep You Forever, about American POWs left behind in Vietnam, also awarded the Grand Prize in New York; Two Weeks in Winter, a drama set in Poland before the fall of communism starring Britain's Jonathan Pryce ("compelling, moving docudrama," according to the New York Times); and Marilyn Monroe: Say Goodbye to the President - now reversioned on DVD - for BBC, CTV Canada, Network Ten Australia and TBS Tokyo. Critics said it was "filmed with brilliance ... brilliantly directed ... slicker than Crisco on glass." To the London Daily Telegraph, The Dream Dealer, for the BBC and WGBH, about the worldwide hunt for drug dealer Howard Marks, was "the most exhilarating documentary of the year." British and American critics saw "dazzlingly-good imagery ... globe-trotting filmic  virtuosity." It was "cinematic, stunning ... (Olgiati is) one of our  most stylish television directors." Mafia Wars, co-produced by the BBC and CBS, the story of the Mafia's 'Godfather of Two Worlds,' seen in the U.S. and thirty-eight other countries, was to the London Times "a triumph,"  and to the Los Angeles Times "a showcase of dazzling  documentary form." Other critics found it "immensely stylish ...  stunning ... TV history in the making ... extraordinary and  fascinating ... highly original ... roller coaster entertainment, a  Hollywood calling card."

Frank Sinatra was the essence of cool - the first pop idol, the first entertainer to trigger mass hysteria. He seduced impossibly gorgeous women. He was an American icon. But his career was partly made - and nearly broken - by the Mafia. He was closer to Mafia chiefs than almost anyone imagined. In his glamorous heyday Sinatra was courted by politicians. The mob saw him as a potential link to the White House. Bitterly disappointed when he failed to get JFK to go easy on organised crime, they sent him the severed, bloody head of a lamb. Did such a supremely talented man really need the dark power of the Mafia, its threats and its violence? For decades, Sinatra tried to hide his ties to the mob. This is the story that in his lifetime could never have been told. To the press, DARK STAR was "wonderfully atmospheric ... magnificent in detail and execution, a thrilling, noireish festival." "Christopher Olgiati's superb film ... compelling, stylish ... feels like a movie ... glided effortlessly between Sinatra's on- and off-screen worlds" Broadcast London US Producer David Marks Editor Malcolm Daniel Camera Dan Coplan Film Research Stuart McKay & Tony Dalton Line Producer Catharine Alen-Buckley Co-Production Executive Sue Temple Executive Producers for the BBC: Jacquie Hughes and Krishan Arora Executive Producers Clive Syddall and William Cran

Did a best-selling author fake his story of a horrifying childhood in Nazi concentration camps? Binjamin Wilkomirski claimed to be the child victim of medical experiments by Dr. Mengele. In Auschwitz and Majdanek, he had seen horrors beyond imagination: starving babies eating their own fingers. His book, Fragments, translated into twelve languages, was hailed as a classic of Holocaust literature. Until another writer began to probe his past. Far from being a hero, he suspected, Wilkomirski was a fraud. He had invented his whole story. He had only ever been to Auschwitz as a tourist. He wasn't even Jewish. Who was telling the truth? Wilkomirski angrily insisted his memories were real. In Latvia, Poland, Switzerland and the United States, Truth & Lies unravelled the mysterious past of Binjamin Wilkomirski, a victim on trial. To TV critics, it was "absolutely riveting ... powerful ... tremendous ... enthralling ... (exposing) one of the great deceptions of our age." More about Truth & Lies ...

An updated DVD version of Marilyn Monroe: Say Goodbye to the President has been released in the U.S. "Dazzling and fascinating" Hollywood Reporter Say Goodbye to the President tells how organised crime figures circled Marilyn in the months before she died, bugging her phone, looking for evidence of her involvement with Jack and Bobby Kennedy. "There isn't a story in the last fifty years to better this tale of passion and politics, pride and prejudice" Daily Mail, London For the Mafia, the "Marilyn tapes" would be ammunition against the Kennedy White House. Say Goodbye reconstructs the last hours of Marilyn's life, and the strange delay between the discovery of her body and Peter Lawford's call to police. "Filmed with a brilliance that gives the film its chief appeal ... Olgiati has found a visual style somewhere between animation and actuality - a finger dialling, pink lips whispering" The London Times With evidence from those closest to Marilyn and the Kennedys, the film shows that Bobby Kennedy visited Marilyn on the afternoon of her death, and that Lawford's delay in alerting the police was to give the President's brother time to leave Los Angeles. "Absolutely riveting" Daily Express, London Say Goodbye to the President remains a definitive account of an extraordinary time. As Variety put it, the film is "cast with legendary figures, all of whom met terrible deaths that remain shrouded in mystery."

Hidden in a honeysuckle bush, a gunman waits for his target: civil rights leader Medgar Evers ... He squeezes the trigger and watches Evers fall. Then he vanishes into the night. It is June 1963, in Mississippi. Evers' widow accuses white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith of the murder. For thirty years, she hunts Beckwith and monitors his rantings: 'God put the white man on earth to rule over the dusky races.' She watches a Mississippi court let Beckwith go free, and discovers how top state officials secretly helped him. The Nightrider tells the story of Medgar Evers, who dared defy the hooded nightriders of the Ku Klux Klan, and of a murder that - by reviving the ghosts of the past - puts modern Mississippi to the test.

HOWARD MARKS. Alias Mr Nice. Drugs trafficker. Fugitive. Attended Balliol College, Oxford. Famous for his Elvis Presley impression ... Marks is an underworld myth. For years he has eluded the law. His wealth and charm are legendary. He is untouchable: a middle-class outlaw. He comes to obsess, and repel, Craig Lovato of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Lovato tracks him from Madrid to Manila. He persuades Lord Anthony Moynihan, a renegade English peer who runs massage parlours in steamy Asian cities, to betray Marks by recording their private conversations on a hidden tape recorder. "Mr Nice" is trapped, but the $100 million fortune the DEA believes he has stashed in offshore bank accounts eludes them. "The most exhilarating documentary of the year" Daily Telegraph, London To reviewers, The Dream Dealer was a "dramatic success ... unmissable ... compulsive, riveting, meticulous ... a dilly of a thriller ... an exemplary combination of journalistic expertise and technical brilliance."

The son of wealthy, middle-class parents, Michael Townley is an unlikely assassin. Yet he serves a secret police organisation as ruthless as the Gestapo, and pursues his victims through Europe and the Americas. To catch him, the FBI mounts its biggest-ever international manhunt. In the words of his FBI nemesis, Townley is "the perfect assassin, the very essence of evil ... a man so blindly obedient he will kill anyone, anywhere, without hesitation." Townley is an agent of DINA, the secret police of Chile. His target is a foe of General Pinochet, exiled in Washington DC.

Jimi Hendrix: The Man They
      Made God

      
Jimi Hendrix was a black
      guitarist with a white audience, an icon of peace who once believed
      in the Vietnam war. Born in America, made in sixties London,
      he was both star and victim - of predatory promoters, and of
      fans who saw him as a god. Crippled by their expectations, he
      tried to escape. But his personal manager brought him back at
      gunpoint. Night after night, the crowd wanted him to burn his
      guitar, to go to the edge. And he did, on a diet of pills and
      LSD.

      
Before his death at twenty-seven
      in a basement room in West London, frustrated and desperate,
      he talked about not living much longer. He yearned to play a
      new kind of music but fans didn't want to listen. The Man
      They Made God unpeels the short, troubled life of a self-doubting
      virtuoso, a misfit on whom others hung their dreams.

Vietnam: Children of the Dust

      
When America withdrew
      from Vietnam, a human legacy was left behind: tens of thousands
      of Amerasian children, fathered by U.S. servicemen. The North
      Vietnamese called them the "dust of life." They were
      the unwanted detritus of war, reminders of a time when Vietnamese
      women sold themselves to the enemy. Vietnam: Children of the
      Dust follows an American father back to Saigon, to find the
      boy he never knew. Other reunions are less happy. Some Amerasian
      children brought to the United States are no more welcome than
      they were in Vietnam. Spurned by their GI fathers, they are products
      of a war the U.S. prefers to forget.

Nazi Gold Swiss complaints

      
The BBC did not uphold
      a complaint by the Swiss Ambassador to the United Kingdom that
      Nazi Gold portrayed Swiss history unfairly. A subsequent
      appeal to the Governors of the BBC was also rejected. The Swiss
      courts dismissed a complaint that the film had incited hatred
      of the Swiss people.

      
Letter from Jean Ziegler,
      member of Swiss parliament; member of the parliamentary Foreign
      Affairs Commission; professor at the University of Geneva

      
I found
      your film excellent, as much from the point of view of its form
      as from that of the knowledge which it imparts. The information
      which you assembled is impressive. To my knowledge no-one --
      unless they were acting in bad faith -- could reproach you with
      the slightest factual error.

      
As
      an MP and a member of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Swiss
      Parliament, I have been profoundly surprised by the virulent,
      negative and often irrational reactions with which your film
      has been greeted in Government circles.

      
I can
      see only one reason for this: the fundamental inability, on the
      part of many people with positions of authority in my country,
      to confront the past and abandon the comfortable myths which
      have until now served as a structure for our shared consciousness.

      
To
      raise one point in particular, what you say on the subject of
      neutrality is of course correct. Neutrality during World War
      II was a lie: when the civilised world is involved in a struggle
      against murderers, one cannot remain neutral.

      
From
      August 1940, Swiss industry, banking, trade and so on were placed
      almost entirely at the disposal of the Reich. Numerous historians
      -- including for example Hans Ulrich Jost -- confirm this point
      of view.

      
The
      rejection at the border, especially from 19 August 1942, and
      often straight into the hands of their SS tormentors, of about
      100,000 Jewish men, women and children, constitutes a crime against
      humanity. No time limit applies to such a crime.

      
In
      the light of the documents and figures available today, there
      is no doubt that the Swiss financial markets greatly benefited
      from the laundering of stolen Nazi gold -- including gold that
      came from the death camps.

      
On
      the question of trains passing through the Gotthard towards Germany,
      in particular from 1943: I have heard it said by old friends,
      like me members of the Swiss Socialist Party and who at the time
      were working for the Federal Railways, that these sealed trains
      had been filled with people. Certainly deported workers, perhaps
      Jewish people. In any case railway workers were under orders
      not to let anyone out of these trains while they transited through
      Swiss territory.

      
Our
      country is a very old, living democracy. Today it finds itself
      plunged into a deep identity crisis. I love this country. I remain
      convinced that it will succeed in reclaiming and shedding light
      on its past, and in building a future together with the other
      democratic countries of Europe.

      
Your
      film represents a valuable contribution to the debate currently
      under way in Switzerland. May I thank you for this.

      
With
      very best regards, Jean Ziegler.

      
A witness in NAZI GOLD,
      supported by five others found by BBC researchers, claimed the
      Nazis transported prisoners by train through Switzerland. After
      the film was shown in America, a PBS viewer wrote

      
My
      grandfather died over ten years ago but did tell me of his life
      in Germany during Nazi rule ... when he died he took with him
      many secrets, but he did tell me of one incident. He was an engineer,
      driving the big steam trains that did the transporting of materials
      to the frontline troops. During the winter of 1943/44, after
      he had numerous trains blown out from below him on the Russian
      Front, he was transferred to duty transport into Italy. He told
      me of one incident where he was taking a human trainload back
      to Germany through Switzerland. In Switzerland he attempted to
      abandon the wagons at the station. He was "detained"
      by the Swiss, put back on his train, and their engineer drove
      the train to the border with Germany. They released him at the
      border to drive the train on. He did this (with) three children
      and a wife at home. He requested and was re-assigned to the Russian
      Front. He told me that if the "moral' Swiss would do this
      knowing the outcome, then no-one can condemn the Germans for
      having voted Hitler into power not knowing what the outcome would
      be. Starving, beaten people who seek help from a silver tongued
      devil are innocent when compared to moral zealots who protect
      themselves for love of money.
