The BBC have announced details of a new David Bowie documentary. The show, which currently has a working title of Bowie In Berlin, will document the Thin White Duke’s relocation to the German capital, a move that birthed some of Bowie’s most experimental and inventive records. Whilst in the city, he made the trio of albums known as his Berlin Trilogy – Low, “Heroes” and Lodger – and also produced and co-wrote a pair of imperious Iggy Pop albums, The Idiot and Lust For Life.
The documentary is being directed by Francis Whatley, who helmed previous Bowie films Finding Fame, The Last Five Years and Five Years and executive produced by presenter and interviewer supreme Louis Theroux in his role as Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Mindhouse, the production company he co-launched in 2019.
