In 1979, Roger Graef started Films of Record, a documentary production company that specialises in tackling difficult subjects, and securing access to previously closed institutions. Films of Record worked in association with Hatchling Productions on Cathy Henkel's feature-length documentary film "The Burning Season" (2008), which followed a young Australian entrepreneur to Indonesia on a mission to help stop deforestation and make money in the process. In the first months of 2010, Films of Record 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 Murder Blues, following Operation Trident on black on black gun crime., 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". Graef was Executive Producer on all these films.
