It will be set against other \u201cfirsts\u201d in the U.K. Black community that coincided with the trajectory of Roberts\u2019 life as a Windrush generation child and his 30-year police career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe company was formed on the back of a now iconic film produced with the Terrence Higgins Trust; 30 years on it seems appropriate to be developing another film about a British Icon,\u201d said Tony Carne, founder of Revelation Films. \u201cIt is one of the most inspiring stories we\u2019ve had the honor to develop. Norwell has spent his entire life being ahead of the curve, and his sheer perseverance has in no small part helped to see significant change in British society. His focus and determination to simply be the best copper he could be, in the most trying of circumstances, ploughed a furrow for the Met to become the much more racially diverse organization 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revelation Films has secured the worldwide rights to I Am Norwell Roberts, the autobiography from the U.K.\u2019s first Black Met police officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":19188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[6844,6845,4222],"class_list":["post-19187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-i-am-norwell-roberts","tag-norwell-roberts","tag-revelation-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Revelation Films Acquires Rights to First Black Met Police Officer\u2019s Story - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Revelation Films Acquires Rights to First Black Met Police Officer\u2019s Story - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Revelation Films has secured the worldwide rights to I Am Norwell Roberts, the autobiography from the U.K.\u2019s first Black Met police officer.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-01-11T16:15:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/RevelationFIlms-IAmNorwellRoberts-123.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/\",\"name\":\"Revelation Films Acquires Rights to First Black Met Police Officer\u2019s Story - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-01-11T16:15:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-01-11T16:15:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/revelation-films-acquires-rights-to-first-black-met-police-officers-story\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Revelation Films Acquires Rights to First Black Met Police Officer\u2019s Story\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
