Documentaries
In 1988, aged 23, Miller illegally entered Burma, to direct and film a documentary about human rights violations. The resulting film was one of the first to document the mass killing of students and protestors by the Burmese Junta in 1988 and was broadcast by Channel 4. He followed it up with Dying for Democracy Channel 4, in 1989.[1]
Throughout the 1990s, Miller filmed more than 50 documentaries for BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and the US,[citation needed] these were predominantly anthropological. These included two years spent working closely with the Dalai Lama, directing Mustang: The Hidden Kingdom, a cinema documentary, narrated by Harrison Ford, following an emissary sent by the Dalai Lama to the then closed kingdom of Mustang. A five- and a six-year-old were sent back to be educated with the Dalai Lama, the idea being that they would one day return to Mustang having had a Tibetan education. The film won awards including Gold Medal New York Films Festival, Cine Golden Eagle, Banf Festival golden lion and was shown worldwide.[2]
