John is one of the country’s leading documentary directors who recently won a BAFTA for his Sky Documentary series Lockerbie (also nominated in the BAFTA best director category). His feature Thriller in Manila was in competition at Sundance, BAFTA and EMMY nominated, and won a Grierson and a Peabody Award. Bradley Wiggins – A Year In Yellow was also BAFTA nominated for best director. The Guardian said of his recent The Alien Autopsy Scandal – "John Dower's exquisitely directed documentary; a thing of great playfulness and eccentricity" and The Times, "a wry, delightedly curious exploration that is worthy of an Ealing comedy".
