Daniel Bogado

Daniel Bogado is an award-winning British-Paraguayan director of documentaries focusing on human rights issues across the globe. He’s also the former series editor of “Unreported World,” Channel 4’s critically acclaimed series and Britain’s longest-running foreign affairs strand. In 2012, Bogado gained access inside the conflict zone of the Nuba mountains in Sudan and secured evidence which exposed a campaign by the Sudanese government to kill thousands of civilians. The resulting film “Terror in Sudan” won the Rory Peck Sony Impact Award, an award given to freelance cameramen who have risked their lives to report on newsworthy events.

In 2014, he filmed “Hunting Boko Haram” for Channel 4 and PBS which revealed that in its fight against Boko Haram the government of Nigeria was engaged in a brutal campaign of retaliatory and indiscriminate violence toward civilians. The documentary won multiple awards, including an Emmy® for Outstanding Investigative Journalism in a News Magazine.

Most recently, Bogado directed the hit seven-part true crime series “Killer Ratings,” the first original documentary series ever commissioned by Netflix in a foreign language. It tells the bizarre story of Wallace Souza, a Brazilian television presenter who was accused of ordering the murders he covered in his show in order to increase ratings. “Killer Ratings” became one of the most watched Netflix documentaries in Brazil in 2019.
