The Grierson Trust has revealed the shortlists in all categories for the 50th anniversary edition of the British Documentary Awards (a.k.a. the Griersons), ahead of the announcement of the final nominations on September 21.

Awarding a range of multiplatform non-fiction works covering categories that include current affairs, arts, music, sports, history, science, natural history & environment, constructed reality and more, this year’s awards also see the return of the best cinema documentary category for theatrical docs, which was suspended in 2021 due to the pandemic.

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Grierson Trust chair Lorraine Heggessey particularly spotlighted the shortlisted nominees for the best presenter category, which, alongside such familiar names as Joe Lycett, are first-time presenters like Paralympic gold medalist Ellie Simmonds (pictured) — who fronted the BBC doc Ellie Simmonds: A World Without Dwarfism? — and street dancer and choreographer Ashley Banjo, for ITV’s Ashley Banjo: Britain in Black & White.

“The 2022 presenter shortlist is our most diverse yet, demonstrating real change happening within the industry both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as we work towards greater inclusivity and better representation of all sections of society,” Heggessey said. “The Grierson Trust has long been committed to nurturing new talent and bringing fresh voices to factual programming.”

The shortlisted nominees for the 2022 British Documentary Awards are listed below, excluding the short film and student doc categories:
