Lorraine Heggessey, Chair of The Grierson Trust said: “Roger was an inspirational fi gure to generations of documentary makers and championed young talent throughout his career. He had an unparalleled ability to bring about social change through powerfully told human stories and such a passion for the documentary form that he was still making fi lms in his eighties. On a personal level I always found him supportive, encouraging and unfailingly courteous. I can’t think of anyone more worthy of winning the prestigious Grierson Trustees’ Award in this our fi ftieth anniversary year.”

THE JUDGES SAID: This stood apart as a moving, magisterial and beautifully made fi lm. It was well constructed, beautifully paced, respectfully scored and it brought a depth to a well-known story. The quality of the fi lmmaking was worthy of the scale of tragedy which brought justice to this heart-breaking story.
