Chris Atkins is a BAFTA-nominated documentary-maker. His documentary Starsuckers about celebrity culture and the media was screened to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards, where his evidence was quoted. It also made front page national news.

Besides his own groundbreaking work, he has also worked with Dispatches for Channel 4 and BBC Panorama. Following his release, he is now back in North London, sharing a lot of time with his young son, writing, and making a podcast series about prison life.
