Angie Mason (Producer/Director), gives behind-the-scenes insights into the making of our two-part BBC Panorama special ‘Crisis in Care’ about the deepening crisis in Adult Social Care – due to be televised on BBC One on Wednesday 29th May & Wednesday 5th June.
Crisis in Care follows the deepening crisis in Adult Social Care in one local authority over 10 months – Somerset County Council. Nearly half of Somerset’s annual budget is spent on Adult Social Care. Last summer it was on the brink of going bust – the financial pressures faced here are also being felt across the country. Rogan Productions together with BBC Social Affairs Correspondent, Alison Holt, were granted exclusive access to see first-hand the difficulties faced by Somerset’s Director of Adult Social Services, his team of social workers and local politicians.
The commercial arm of our business,Rogan Digital has recently produced a series of short films for a the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust campaign to raise awareness about Stephen Lawrence Day.
Stephen: The Murder that Changed a Nation has recently been picked up by BBC Teach, a platform providing free classroom resources for school teachers throughout the UK.
We’re thrilled and honoured to announce that James Rogan has been nominated for a BAFTA in the Best Factual Director category for Stephen: The Murder That Changed a Nation.
The day after the Brexit referendum, I knew we needed to make a film about the Irish border. The decision to leave the European Union made the border overnight something of a catchphrase on the nightly news alongside words like hard, soft and backstop.
The border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland has meandered across rural Irish farmlands since its creation in 1922. Throughout this time film crews and journalists have descended upon the border, attempting to understand its absurdities and contradictions – and the turmoil it can cause.
