We have the privilege of spending time in the classroom with the TUTU director Sam Pollard and editor Paul Trewartha. We learn how Sam and Paul shaped this powerful filmic portrait of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, de facto saint of contemporary South Africa. Sam Pollard, is a renowned editor, director and producer across film and television, and has worked alongside greats like Spike Lee. His remarkable work chronicling the Black experience conveys the historical reach of racial injustice and the enduring power of black freedom struggles. Paul Trewartha is a London based Documentary editor known for his work on Branson (2022), and The Sparks Brothers (2021) nominated for 26 awards including the BAFTA Best Documentary. Together, they will explore the invisible art of the edit.
