Grierson Award for Best Historical Documentary 2018
Grierson Award for Best Documentary Series 2018
Best Historical Documentary
Stephen: The Murder that Changed a Nation – The Loss of Joy:
Emma Hindley, Jury Chair: “Our winner is confident and bold in its storytelling, gripping and powerfully emotional in its delivery. While it told the intimate story of an individual and a family, it also evoked the atmosphere of a nation at a very particular time. The film skill fully captured society’s attitudes in the 1990s and is a timely reminder that institutional racism is still a real and ever present issue. This film got beyond the iconic image that we all know so well and introduced a young man as a human being rather than a symbolic statistic.”
Netflix Best Documentary Series
Stephen: The Murder That Changed A Nation
Tom McDonald, Jury Chair: “The winner of this year’s Grierson is a remarkable series – beautifully crafted, with extraordinary use of interview, archive and a unique visual approach. It is not simply a re-telling of a story and its repercussions but is a series about Britain, who we were as a nation and what we’ve become.”
