Roger Arthur Graef OBE (born April 18, 1936) is a Criminologist and film-maker who broke the mould of documentary film making with his ability to gain access to hitherto closed institutions, including Government ministries and court buildings.
Born in New York, he has worked mostly in Britain. He became a UK citizen in 1995.
He was awarded an OBE in the 2006 New Year's Honours list for services to film-making and broadcasting. Also in 2006 he became a Patron of Prisoners Abroad, a registered charity which supports Britons who are imprisoned outside the UK.
