The C4 Trust was founded in 2007 by independent filmmaker David Forbes.
The C4 Trust was set up to channel profits from the film to the widows, their families and the Cradock community.
The C4 Trust is controlled by the widows of the Cradock Four (see Trustees). The aim of the C4 Trust is to manage any donations, or Cradock Four film profits that may accrue to David, for the benefit of the families and the Cradock communities that suffered as a result of the murder of the Cradock Four.
In this way, it is hoped that some positive development may come from the making of the films and the telling of this tragic but heroic story.
