Films of Record
In 1979, Roger Graef started Films of Record, a documentary production company that specialises in tackling difficult subjects, and securing access to previously impenetrable institutions. In the first months of 2010, it produced Julien Temple's Requiem for Detroit? (BBC), Ricardo Pollack's three-part series on medical ethics Great Ormond Street (TV series) (BBC), and a series on family discord Who Needs Fathers? (BBC). Other productions include the BAFTA-nominated Kids in Care, a Panorama Special, The Trouble with Pirates on the impact of Somali piracy; and "Amnesty! When They Are All Free". Its recent output includes "The Truth About Adoption"; which was BAFTA and BAFTA Craft nominated in 2012; and the second series of Great Ormond Street.
Films of Record is now part of factual media group Ten Alps.

Famous quotes containing the words films and/or record:
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
—Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
