In addition, Howard is a prize-winning documentary maker. He directed, wrote and co-produced The Investigation of Swissair 111, a film about the multi-year inquiry into an air crash that cost 229 lives. For that, he won the top TV prize in Canada, The Gemini Award and was nominated for two Emmys for a version that aired on PBS’s NOVA. The film was broadcast worldwide.
