Established in 2002, the Radharc Awards pay tribute to the legacy of the Radharc Films production unit, renowned for its pioneering work in religious affairs programming for RTÉ. From 1962 to 1997, the Radharc series earned national and international acclaim for its thoughtful and sometimes provocative religious documentaries. Radharc production teams aimed to engage a sometimes conservative Irish audience with challenging subject matter through well-researched and technically proficient productions, characterized by their compassion, global solidarity, down-to-earth lyricism and occasional humour.
The Radharc Awards seek to foster and champion the same high standards of craft, content and commitment in documentary filmmaking, and will recognize outstanding Irish documentaries that explore national or global issues pertaining to social justice, human rights, spirituality, religious faith, and heritage.
