Russ Malkin

The informative and emotive documentary, featuring guest appearances from Sir Elton John, Chris Martin and Joss Stone, was produced by Big Earth for ITV.

The documentary features matches in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, with earthquake survivors among the historic temples of Nepal, with refugees on the desert planes of Djibouti and a game in the dangerous barrios of Buenos Aires.

The three-part series saw the Fiennes cousins re-trace Ranulph’s expedition in Egypt back in the 1960s, including a rare chance to stay overnight in the giant pyramid of Cheops.

In each mini-series, Malkin, Alexanian, and a small camera crew accompany and provide logistical support for the two actors as they ride motorcycles on a months-long globe-spanning journey: from London to New York, from Scotland to South Africa, and from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles.

Malkin has produced and directed a number of short-form digital brand adventures, most recently featuring Henry Cavill and Anna Friel.

He was also responsible for saving the HEMS London Air Ambulance Service after it lost its sponsor, securing sponsorship from Richard Branson who assumed the contract for the next 10 years.
