Michael Raeburn

Michael Raeburn was born in Cairo, in 1943 or 1948 depending on the sources, to a mother who was partly Egyptian and a British father, and grew up in Southern Rhodesia. He studied in London and in Aix-en-Provence. A satirical film he made in 1969 about the Rhodesian regime led to his being declared a prohibited immigrant, and he lived in exile for twelve years, in London. Since then he has directed documentaries and fiction films in Britain, France and Africa, including an adaptation of a novel by Doris Lessing.
