David Belton is a director, writer, and film producer. His experiences as a BBC reporter covering the 1994 Rwandan Genocide led him to write the original story and produce the film Shooting Dogs, directed by Michael Caton-Jones, which dramatizes the events at the Ecole Technique Officielle.[1] It was retitled Beyond the Gates for its 2007 U.S. release.[2] He has directed documentaries (for the BBC, Simon Schama's Power of Art, and for PBS "God in America'" and "The Amish") and dramas ("Ten Days to War").
