Jonathan B Wickham

Jonathan Wickham was born in Malawi, a small country bordering the giant lake that fills the end of the Great Rift Valley. He spent his first twelve years there and in neighboring Zimbabwe before moving to the UK, where he completed his education. With a degree in French and German from Cambridge University, he initially considered becoming a language teacher. But a year spent living in West Berlin, with frequent visits to the movies, convinced him that he should become a filmmaker. After film school back in the UK, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, just as Turner Broadcasting and CNN were taking off. He has spent most of his career in the US, producing documentaries for television. Several of those documentaries focused on World War II.
