Paul Kenyon is a BAFTA-winning journalist and author who has reported from conflict zones around the world for BBC Panorama and has written several books.

[citation needed] Kenyon was Parliamentary Research Assistant to Lib Dem MP Simon Hughes from 1987 to 1988.

It was during that time he became interested in investigative filmmaking and was given his own mini-series called "Open to Question" where he exposed criminals and confronted them on camera.

Kenyon famously stopped a sham wedding just as the couple were making their vows,[8] and faked his own funeral in Haiti during an investigation into insurance fraud.

[9] Kenyon then moved to BBC Panorama where his work began to encompass human rights, international conflicts and, in particular, Africa.

In 2009 he was named Specialist Journalist of the Year by the Royal Television Society for a series of Panorama programmes on the dangerous migration route out of sub-Saharan Africa into Europe.

While he was filming with the elite Jungla anti-narcotics unit of the Colombian police, the Huey helicopter he was flying in came under fire from drug cartels near to Medellin.

[11] That same year, Kenyon carried out a dangerous assignment for the BBC and American television's Frontline World, covertly filming Iran's secret nuclear facilities.

[12] In 2011 he covered the war in Libya, confronting Gaddafi's son, Saadi, about the shooting of unarmed protestors, for which he won "Best Current Affairs Documentary – Middle East" from the Association of International Broadcasters.

[13] He was among a small group of journalists at the Belbeck Airbase in Sevastopol as it was surrounded and taken over by Russian troops, and witnessed the first gunshots of the conflict.

Kenyon and his team (film-maker Nick Sturdee and fixer Taras Shumeyko) witnessed an intense gun battle at Hostomel and were just metres away from a counterattack by a Ukrainian helicopter when they had to run for cover.

"[22] After making a programme which exposed the abuse of patients in Indian drug trials, Kenyon accepted an invitation to become patron of The Aware Foundation which helps educate underprivileged children in India, a role he shares with John Wright, the former coach of the India national cricket team.
