Bex is a documentary director and artist, her practice examining human trauma. Her films are a form of narrative documentary, thought provoking, beautiful and intense. She most recently directed/produced the feature documentary - AMASHINGA: The British Empire & the Zulu Kingdom. Her multi-disciplinary project, The Island, is in post-production; filmed and photographed over ten years, it centres around the changing life of a community on an island that is eroding off the coast of Sierra Leone.
Her earlier films include: The Cowfoot Prince, a timely tale of heritage and belonging for a Sierra Leonean man living in the UK; I’ll Love You Till the End, a searingly intimate film examining bereavement of suicide. Both films screened in festivals in the UK and internationally, and had extensive impact production tours. I'll Love You Till the End won the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival Perspective Award in 2020.
Bex is a visiting tutor at the National Film and Television School and has created short films for UN Agencies and NGOs with clients including BBC Media Action, Freedom from Torture, IRC, UNICEF, WFP, and Save the Children. Now based in Margate in the UK, she lived in Sierra Leone for a number of years, and has worked across the world.
