Liz Mermin

(she/her)
Director, Executive Producer

Liz is known for ambitious, creative, global docs. Her most recent, Dunblane: How Britain Banned Handguns (BBC) was cited at PMQs as a reminder about the fragility of gun laws. Her work takes on politics in the David Frost VS series (Sky), telling the story behind Frost’s 1977 Richard Nixon interview, and the award-winning BBC series Blair & Brown; technology in Doomscroll (Sky), which used misogynist influencer Andrew Tate to expose the inherently destructive nature of social media algorithms and their links to far-right politics; post-war life in The Beauty Academy of Kabul (BBC), one of the first films from post-Taliban Afghanistan; ; the minds of animals in Horses (BBC/Irish Film Board), a feature doc following three Irish racehorses for a year; social change in Generation 9/11 (PBS/Channel4/Arte), a feature about how the world has transformed for American youth since the 2001 attacks; and particle physics with CERN People.
