Revelation Films has acquired worldwide rights to “I Am Norwell Roberts,” the autobiography of the U.K.’s first Black police officer, Norwell Roberts. U.K.-based Revelation is ini…
U.K.-based Revelation is initially developing a documentary feature with plans to expand into scripted, told against a backdrop of social and political events from each decade of his life and career. These events will be presented through a mixture of archive news, photography and music that defined the time with the aim of allowing the audience to better understand Norwell’s struggles and successes within a world that was often against him.
Tony Carne, founder of Revelation Films, said: “The company was formed on the back of a now iconic film produced with the Terrence Higgins Trust [Higgins was one of the first people in the U.K. to die of an AIDS-related illness], 30 years on it seems appropriate to be developing another film about a British icon. It is one of the most inspiring stories we’ve had the honour to develop.
“His focus and determination to simply be the best copper [policeman] he could be, in the most trying of circumstances, ploughed a furrow for the Met to become the much more racially diverse organisation it is today. In a time where we desperately need a new, more compassionate tone to converse, disagree and find common ground, Norwell exemplifies this spirit,” Carne added.
Coming up for Revelation is the third season of true crime hit “The Real Manhunter” for Sky Crime, and an exclusive three-year development deal with former Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton that sees two investigation true crime docs going into production – “Bellfield” and “West End Girls: The Search for a Serial Killer.”
