Dugdale has made films around the world on drug barons, gangsters, police forces and revolutionaries. His 2002 film for the BBC, LAPD Blues, won the highest ratings of that year for a BBC current affairs documentary.

In 2005–2008 he made a three-year biopic of the fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, The Unwinking Gaze. In this film he recorded the Dalai Lama as a leader of the Tibetan people, rather than portraying him as spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism as is done customarily. Notable awards given Dugdale were the Mammoth Best Documentary award in 2008 as well as the runner up in the Best Documentary section for the Foreign Press Association in 2008. The Guardian suggested that 'it could force China into a more civil and humanitarian stance towards Tibet.'

Dugdale is the son of former Aston Villa chairman Sir William Dugdale, 2nd Baronet, a descendant of the Noble House of Stratford, and his wife, Cecilia (Cylla) Mary, daughter of Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet of Wasing Place in Berkshire which he inherited in 2014. Dugdale is also a cousin of former Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron.[1]

gollark: I suspect it is in fact some sort of accursed BIOS-specific blob.
gollark: Hmm, so it's nonvolatile and accessible to things and then contains arbitrary headers.
gollark: Well, I don't care enough.
gollark: > Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing, either by blocking all read/write access to the flash chip or by crashing (it may power off the machine or mess with the battery or cause system instability). Fascinating.
gollark: It does not see flash.
