Over the past eight years, producer-director Rosa Rogers has established an award-winning track record in innovative programmes that have been made and shown around the world. Her interest in opening up surprising perspectives and experiences to a wide audience through compelling human stories has taken her from Rio to Mumbai; Bamako to Beijing. Films made closer to home range from a documentary about the unsolved deaths of 13 black teenagers and a profile of Britain’s most performed living playwright, to poetry and dance films and television drama. As well as producing and directing her own films, Rosa works as a mentor, advising and training new film makers in a range of skills. She runs camera workshops, research workshops and directing workshops. She was a participant in the EsoDoc 2006 programme for European social documentary makers. In addition to her broadcast work, Rosa has worked with a number of NGOs, including Oxfam, Plan International, YMCA, Save the Children and RNID. She is a trustee of the participatory video organization, Living Lens , who use video as a tool to work with conflict resolution and with excluded groups of people in the UK and abroad.
