How can anyone possibly say that the best stories come from the imagination when so often it's real life!

Sally Ingleton has been writing, directing and producing award-winning documentaries for more than 25 years, creating illuminating programs which have been praised and enjoyed worldwide. Sally has used undercover surveillance to record the intriguing habits of some of our most protected species; exposed a critical quest to locate and preserve ancient seeds to save our food from the impact of global warming and provided a shocking account of a perilous journey in the life of Tibetan refugees as they attempted to escape to Nepal for freedom.
