Charlotte Metcalf Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Charlotte Metcalf (born 1958) is a British documentary film director and producer. She is also a prolific writer and journalist. Her films cover subjects from corporate greed in America to transsexual prostitution and born-again Christianity. Her work has been commissioned and broadcast by the BBC, Channel Four, ITV and CNN. She has made films in Africa on cultural practices such as female genital mutilation, child marriage and marriage by rape and abduction or Raptio. Her film about William Hague, Just William...and Ffion, was said to break the mould of political documentary.Charlotte Metcalf's documentary "Schoolgirl Killer" [1], made for BBC Television in 1999, exposed the story of Aberash Bekele, a 14 year old girl abducted and raped into marriage. Bekele escaped and shot her abductor when he gave chase. She was arrested for murder and put on trial, defended by the newly formed Women Lawyer's Association. Charlotte Metcalf managed to get into the courtroom to film, and Aberash was eventually acquitted. The documentary included Aberash's older sister, Mestawet, on the point of leaving Ethiopia and take her place as a runner in the Olympic Games, when she was abducted into marriage. Metcalf filmed Mestawet in her hut, living with three children and her husband, serving home-brewed liquor for a living. BBC audiences were deeply affected by the film and sent in ample funds to give Aberash a safe, boarding-school education. An indefatigable lawyer on the case, Meaza Ashenafi, is one of the characters in a story based on a similar tragic theme, which was made into a drama feature in 2014, called DIFRET [2] and executive produced by Angelina Jolie.Metcalf has also made many films for the United Nations and for clients including Tesco, Unilever, the Labour Party, the International Olympic Committee and art galleries such as Robilant + Voena. She made the first party political broadcasts for Tony Blair and New Labour, including Clause Four.
