AWARD RECIPIENTS: Isobel Yeung, Jackie Jesko and Ahmer Khan
AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: VICE on Showtime
AWARD HONORED WORK: “India Burning”
AWARD SPONSOR: CBS News
Moving and illuminating, VICE captures this underreported story with humanity and clarity, in just 15 minutes. By venturing deep into remote communities, the team exposes the disconnect between millions of Muslim Indians at risk of losing their citizenship, and the denials of top officials. The film portrays characters pitted against a bureaucracy with the power to unravel their lives. Dogged investigative reporting and probing interviews result in a work of real impact.
