After coming to England he worked with Paul Rotha as the cameraman on various documentaries and films such as 'Ulysses' and 'Get Carter'. [Listener: Misha Donat] TRANSCRIPT: What had attracted me to the documentary movement was that they stated that they want to make films which are useful to society and that I did appreciate and I was very glad to join them. During the war, I was still considered an enemy alien of course. I refused to have a German passport and I got a stateless document as an identity document. I was allowed to travel anywhere in Britain with my work, but not into ports. I was not allowed in ports, and one time I forgot this restriction. We were... we were in Liverpool.
