Christine Burrill

Film Work

In addition to writing screenplays such as Tea Leoni's The Counterfeit Contessa, I traveled the world as a documentary filmmaker, shooting in Latin America (The Double Day), Afghanistan under the Taliban (Inshallah: Portrait of an Afghan Woman), the U.S. (Shut Up & Sing — Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck's portrait of the Dixie Chicks), a dozen NOVA docs, and many, many, many others.
