During a long and distinguished career as a documentary director for the BBC, Richard Taylor made around 50 films in 61 countries, several of which won international awards. He then went on to make successful films as an independent and was working right up until his death at the age of 81. He brought to his films a rare integrity and commitment, and his background as a cameraman rather than university graduate marked him out from many of his BBC contemporaries.
