In 2020, Ettedgui and Bonhôte directed Rising Phoenix, a documentary about the Paralympic Games. Ettedgui, who is Jewish, and Bonhôte, who had a Jewish grandmother who survived the Holocaust, were inspired by the story of Paralympics founder Ludwig Guttmann, who also fled Nazi Germany. The film won the award for Outstanding Long Sports Documentary at the Sports Emmy Awards in 2021. It was a nominee for Best Documentary at the British Independent Film Awards 2021.

Ettedgui and Bonhôte wrote and directed Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story about Superman actor Christopher Reeve, in 2024.

In November 2025, Ettedgui publicly alleged that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage had racially abused him when they were classmates at Dulwich College in the late 1970s. Farage responded by stating: "I categorically deny saying those things, to that one individual", which Ettedgui said was "fundamentally dishonest".
