Jemima Harrison
Jemima is a former print journalist who wrote for many national newspapers and magazines before joining the 麻豆社 in the late 1990s to work on various documentaries, including the award-winning Inside Story: Tongue Tied, about the broadcaster John Diamond鈥檚 battle with cancer.
Her credits as an independent producer include Horizon: Ecstasy and Agony (麻豆社2) about a young man with Parkinson鈥檚 Disease who had discovered that the drug ecstasy helped alleviate his symptoms (a revelation that helped change research in Parkinson鈥檚); Can Dogs Smell Cancer? (麻豆社4/麻豆社2) and The Family That Walks on All Fours (麻豆社2), examining claims by a Turkish scientist that a quadrupedal family in Turkey were an example of "de-volution".
Jemima鈥檚 passion is documenting what happens "when people bump into science 鈥� and that, essentially, is what almost all our films are about, including Pedigree Dogs Exposed."
Jemima grew up with pedigree dogs 鈥� Great Danes, English Setters and Labradors 鈥� and now shares her life with a Flatcoated Retriever, Maisie, a Border Collie, Feeby, and seven mixed breeds. She runs a small independent rescue for gundog breeds and mixes, mainly rehoming dogs rescued from Irish pounds.
She campaigns on the pedigree dogs issue via her blog:
