The Killing of Lance Walker
2018
1 x 15' Channel 4 News
Producer/ Presenter: Ben Ferguson
When a child in care reaches the age of 18, the local authority is still responsible for their well-being. Many care leavers are placed in shared houses with other young people in a similar situation. But there’s little regulation and supervision in these places, with councils relying on outside companies to operate them.
There’s concern that this system is failing many. In the case of one 18 year old, it cost him his life, as Ben Ferguson investigates – in the first in our series ‘Lost Childhood’, which examines the way we look after our most vulnerable young people.

Phone Hackers: Britain's Secret Surveillance
2015
DV Director
Producer/ presenter: Ben Bryant
IMSI catchers are portable surveillance tools used for spying on thousands of phones in a targeted area, tracking their location and even intercepting calls, messages, and data. They are supposed to help identify serious criminals, but cannot operate without monitoring innocent people too. UK police have IMSI catchers, but they refuse to tell the public how and when they are used. This has privacy campaigners worried. And, even if the state is using them sparingly, what if criminals also have access to the technology? VICE News searches London for IMSI catchers, then goes shopping at a state security fair, and finally finds a shady technology company who'll sell us the spy gear.
