Description
Thousands of copies of Robert Richter's documentaries have been shown in hundeds of US and overseas colleges and high schools, theatrically, telecast and received major awards throughout the world. His work has been seen in national prime time on PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, TBS, Discovery and on many major European and other international television outlets. Three of his films won DuPont Columbia Broadcast Journalism awards (the Pulitzer Prize of television journalism), and two others were Academy Award nominees for best documentary short. He is the last member of the famed Edward R. Murrow-Fred Friendly CBS Reports unit — featured in the current hit "Good Night and Good Luck" — still actively producing documentaries.
A New York City native, Richter attended a Telluride Association junior college in California and received his B.A. from Oregon's Reed College. As an M.F.A. candidate at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop, he began his professional career under the aegis of Richard Maibaum, later screenwriter of the James Bond thrillers. Richter joined Oregon public television, initially as a producer and reporter, then as Director of Public Affairs programs. He also was Pacific Northwest reporter for The New York Times. He received an M.A. in Public Law and Government while on a CBS News Fellowship at Columbia University.
Globalization and the Poor
Richter has produced several ground-breaking independent documentaries on globalization policies and practices affecting people in developing countries. "For Export Only: Pesticides" and "For Export Only: Pharmaceuticals" document the human and environmental impacts of marketing banned and restricted products. "Hungry for Profit" reveals how the agribusiness system impoverishes people. "Can Tropical Rainforests Be Saved?" is the first global look at this issue and its economic and social realities. "Increase and Multiply?" focuses on family planning worldwide. For his broad range of environmental productions, Richter received a Global 500 Award from the United Nations Environment Programme-the only independent producer in the world so honored.
