Unafraid of who he might make angry, uncompromising and always controversial, Nick Broomfield has been upsetting the rich, the famous and the powerful with his documentaries since the early Nineties. He has a talent for exposing bullies and liars and a special ability in setting traps for his victims to walk right into. Here are a selection of some of them … THE LEADER, HIS DRIVER AND THE DRIVER’S WIFE (1991) Made for Channel 4 television, this was the film that first brought Broomfield’s name to the public’s attention; a profile of the racist South African AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche told through the eyes of his driver. Broomfield did all he could to make his subject angry including turning up late for interviews. It resulted in his cameraman getting hit, and in the creation of a fascinating portrait of an arrogant political bully (gruesomely murdered, by the way, by two of his farm workers in April 2010, allegedly over a wage dispute). AILEEN WUORNOS: THE SELLING OF A SERIAL KILLER (1992) Years before Charlize Theron won an Oscar playing serial killer Aileen Wuornos in “Monster”, Broomfield made his own movie looking at the background behind America’s first female serial killer, who at that time was on death row in Florida. He returned to the same subject in his harrowing 2003 documentary “Aileen: Life and death of a serial killer.” KURT AND COURTNEY (1998) Broomfield’s look into the lives of America’s most famous rock and roll couple showed him just how angry Courtney Love can get, especially when he reached the conclusion that she might not have been completely innocent in Kurt Cobain’s death. It also showed him the power she can exert when he found his US funding for the project suddenly withdrawn and when the film was eventually banned at the Sundance film festival.
