Joshua Dugdale, FRSA (Birmingham 1974), is a British documentary film-maker. He studied economics at the University of Manchester.
Dugdale made films around the world on drug barons, gangsters, police forces and revolutionaries. His 2002 film for the BBC, LAPD Blues won some of the highest ratings of that year for any documentary.
In 2005-2008 he made a three year biopic of the fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, The Unwinking Gaze. In this film he recorded the Dalai Lama as a leader of the Tibetan people, rather than making a portrait of him from being a spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism that is being done customarily.
Dugdale is the son of former Aston Villa chairman Sir William Dugdale, and cousin of current Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron.[1]
