About Us

True North has been making compelling, intimate, headline-grabbing and great-looking documentaries for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five since 2002.   

We’ve brought innovation to Current Affairs with MacIntyre’s Big Sting, we’ve made fly-on-the-wall slick  and compelling with Animal 24:7, we’ve told high-profile news stories from the inside, with Getting Away With Murder and Death of a Policeman, and we brought the extraordinary world of reborning to public attention with the highly popular My Fake Baby 

2008 will be a big year for True North. We've already been commissioned to make  Animal Rescue Squad, a 30x30 series for Five,  and our high-profile replacement for BBC1's Heaven and Earth  begins its six month run in April, all alongside new runs of our returning series Animal 24:7, The Way We Were and My Yorkshire.

We love what we do, we respect the people we work with, and we put money on screen. Over the past five years we’ve brought together some of the best production talent in the country to create the biggest indie in Yorkshire, and one of the most diverse, creative and energetic production companies in Britain.
