Since leaving John Lyon in 1965, Mick has gone on to an outstanding international career as a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and journalist. His acclaimed work for BBC2 includes major historical series such as Watergate (1994), which won a Primetime Emmy Award, and Death of Apartheid (1995), as well as award-winning documentaries spanning politics, art, and cultural history.

A remarkable reminder of the journeys our Old Lyonians go on to take, and the lasting connections that remain.
