Martin Butler studied politics and economics at Oxford University and then went to work for the manager of The Who at his palace on the Grand Canal in Venice. In 1981 he migrated to Australia and spent the next 25 years producing award winning documentary reports on ABC's Fours Corners and Foreign Correspondent, and SBS's Dateline. In 2009 he teamed up with Bentley Dean to make Contact, a film about the last first-contact in the Western Desert of Australia. They made the four part documentary series First Footprints about Australia's 50,000-year Aboriginal history in 2013. They have been making Tanna since then.
