Nick Broomfield is a documentary style film maker and has been making films since 1971. He has made such films as Pround To Be British, Soldier Girls, Ghosts and Sarah Palin: You Betcha!
His documentary style films tell and explain events from the victim(s) view point, allowing the audience to grow and experience emotions with the characters.
The film Ghosts is a good example of this. In the film we side with a women called Ai Qin who comes to the UK to gain money for her family from China. She is forced to do bad work with a small amount of pay. She lives in terrible and over crouded conditions with over 15 others in Thetford and Morecambe. Eventually her life is in great danger in an over night cockling trip and she is one of the only ones to be saved. She is finally reunited with her family in China as most films if not all have a happy ending.
