Envy BEST SINGLE DOCUMENTARY – DOMESTIC


The Family Secret


Anna Hall, Sally Ogden, Luke Rothery & Brian Woods for Candour Productions Channel 4


Kath had a secret she couldn’t tell anyone. She carried it for 25 years. Her brother had raped her when she was seven and he was ten – it lasted for four years. The Family Secret captures the moment when Kath and her brother Rob enter a restorative justice meeting where the truth is laid bare and they face what happened for the first time with their mum as witness.


Tell Me Who I Am


Production team at Lightbox Netflix


Alex wakes up from a coma having forgotten everything. The only thing he does know is that the person next to him is his twin brother, Marcus. Alex relies on Marcus to provide his memories, but the idyllic childhood Marcus paints for his twin conceals a dark family secret.


War in the Blood


Arthur Cary, Morgan Matthews, Ben Brown, Saskia Rusher & Andrew Phillips for Minnow Films BBC Two


An intimate feature length documentary following two patients through ground- breaking ‘first in-human’ trials for CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment described as the beginning of the end of cancer.


Not allowed to meet, Graham (53) and Mahmoud (18) are nevertheless bound together by their commitment to the treatment and their faith in the science. Terminally ill, the trial represents their only option. How do their ages and life experiences affect their physical and emotional response?


Suicidal: In Our Own Words


Rachel Harvie, David DeHaney, Emmanuel Ayettey & Iain Pettifer for Proper Content Channel 5


One man takes his own life every two hours. In a process never before seen on television, this ground-breaking and unflinching documentary follows the unique work carried out by the Central and North-West London Mental Health Trust and the stories of six men, who have 20 suicide attempts between them.


Each of the men tell their story in a unique and intimate moment – the hours, days and weeks of their unfolding suicidal episodes.


This was a brave and important film which brought the judges a new understanding of men who are suicidal. It was evident that the contributors really trusted the filmmaker and opened up to her in a way that never felt voyeuristic. The jury said this film was one that had stayed with them long after watching it.
