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:
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way. Therefore not only does the system alienate humanity, but at the same time alienated humanity supports this system as its own involuntary masterplan, as a degenerate image of its own degeneration, as a record of people’s own failure as individuals.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
