Co-founder, co-producer & co-director with Paul Coleman of the AIDS Since the 80s Project (now The National HIV Story Trust) which, between June 2015 and February 2017, filmed more than 100 interviews with long-term survivors of HIV. This unprecedented documentary project captured experiences of HIV in the UK from the 1980s to the present day.
The interviews have been deposited in the London Metropolitan Archive as an important historical resource, and have been transcribed and indexed with a grant from the Wellcome Trust.
A feature length documentary film is in preparation.
Adam Roberts & Paul Coleman also commissoned artist Danielle van Zadelhoff to create portraits of a dozen long-trem survivors of HIV, and curated an exhibition - SURVIVORS! - of the portaits in 2017 at London's City Hall to mark World AIDS Day. A limited edition artist's monograph can be bought from Stockman's Art Books.
