Zim brings both love and integrity to her film-making, then she deftly weaves fascinating interviews, extraordinary archive and evocative music into a bewitching brew. Her transport trilogy for Arena made some very pertinent and fresh observations about post-war Britain and was unlike anything I’d commissioned in 20 years.
