When did you start working on this?

November 2023, so two months after the allegations broke. This was pre-police investigation.

It was very early days, so our whole focus was we’ve got this man, this huge celebrity, and now these allegations. Is there a wider, broader piece to be done?

He’s a big Noughties figure. We wanted to look at the cultural backdrop.

We weren’t sure what was going to happen to him, so it was a quite interesting moment. Once he’s charged, the media in the U.K.

isn’t allowed to publish or broadcast anything that could prejudice the trial. How did that impact your process?

We were never going to rush the process anyway. So we were still very much in our first throes of production at that point, and the moment they announced an investigation, we thought “We do not want to impact any future trial.” We were acutely aware that there might be charges any minute, and then after the charges we didn’t know the timeframes but there would be a trial.

So I think we were just always trying to be responsible filmmakers and mitigate against that. The documentary examines the course of Brand’s career but doesn’t go deep into the recent criminal court case.

Did you consider bringing more of the case into it? There was a discussion: do we follow it?

But I think we felt like we had a bigger message and bigger broader understanding to get out there…. and I think we wanted to add our voice in within this moment rather than wait.

Netflix have released the doc just over a week after Brand was convicted. What would have happened if he had been acquitted of all the charges?

Was there a different cut ready to go? I think we are very aware that legally if someone’s found innocent then you are in a different legal scenario … that does make it more difficult to publish.

If he’d gotten let off, we potentially were looking at maybe we’d have to do a reversion down the line.
