Stewart Binns is a British author and filmmaker celebrated for his BAFTA, Grierson, Peabody, and RTS award-winning documentaries, including "Britain at War in Colour" and "The Second World War in Colour." He is also known for his engaging historical novels such as the "Making of England" series and insightful works on the Great War. With a background as an academic, schoolteacher, and SAS soldier, Stewart brings a unique blend of discipline and creativity to his storytelling, making complex history accessible and emotionally impactful.

He explains: ◽️ The myth that history must be dry and academic—how storytelling through emotion and personal witness makes it vivid and engaging. ◽️ How colourising war footage transformed the way we connect with history, making it feel immediate and real. ◽️ The biggest lie about sport’s cultural value—why sport deserves intellectual respect and celebration like art or music. ◽️ The harsh truth about life in the SAS and how resilience, stubbornness, and physical fitness transform lives. ◽️ The habit sabotaging creativity—letting external opinions and rejection stop you from pursuing your passion. ◽️ The rule that changed his life: staying committed to passion over confidence or arrogance. ◽️ Why England is losing its identity in modern times and the contrast with vibrant revolutionary spirit elsewhere. ◽️ How blending academic rigour with media and emotional storytelling creates powerful documentaries and novels.
