Jezza Neumann

Jezza joined True Vision Productions in 1996. His first broadcast filming opportunity came with Eyes of Child and since cutting his teeth on that production he hasn’t looked back. Jezza’s first film as director, China’s Stolen Children, won three British Academy Awards. He has followed up on this success with a number of award winning films including the feature length War Child and the multi-award winning Zimbabwe’s Forgotten Children. His film Poor Kids, had an incredible impact, leading to questions being asked in the House of Commons during Prime Minister's Question Time and inspiring over 950 viewer comments on the BBC Blog pages, over double the previous record number. In 2013 Jezza was awarded the prestigious Robert F Kennedy Journalism Award for his film Poor Kids. Since then he has continued to build on this success with films such as TB: Return of the Plague and Breadline Kids.
