In the July 2018 edition of Suite (212), Tom Overton talks to Mike Dibb (http://www.mikedibb.co.uk) about a documentary filmmaking career that has spanned more than fifty years. As well as directed John Berger's legendary BBC TV series 'Ways of Seeing' (1972), Dibb has adapted books by Raymond Williams and C.L.R. James, made documentaries about art, music and sport, and is currently making a film about artist Donny Johnson, who has spent almost his entire adult life in the U.S. prison system.
