Roger Weisberg is an American director and producer. He joined Thirteen/WNET in 1977 as a producer of the Emmy-winning series "Help Yourself". He produced dozens of programs on a broad range of subjects, including aging, domestic violence, juvenile justice, consumer fraud, health care, the environment, child welfare and urban poverty. Since 1980, he has written, produced and directed 22 PBS documentaries through his independent production company, Public Policy Productions. These documentaries have won more than 80 accolades, including Peabody, Emmy and duPont-Columbia awards. Some of Weisberg's films are vérité-style documentaries with no narration, while others are narrated by prominent actors. While all of Weisberg's documentaries ultimately were broadcast on national public television, his 1993 documentary Road Scholar and his 1999 documentary Sound And Fury had broad theatrical releases before airing on PBS.
