The World of Philip Pullman (2006)

The man many consider to be the most important living author of young people's fiction is profiled in this documentary scripted by his friend, literary critic Nick Tucker. From the death of Philip Pullman's father during the time of the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya to the author's globe-trotting adventures and final landing at Oxford (where he lives today), this film provides insight into the experiences that have shaped the man and his material.
