Affiliation: Al Jazeera English
Honored Work: “Fault Lines – The Night Won’t End”
The product of more than five months of reporting and investigation, this Al Jazeera English documentary reveals the human cost of the war in Gaza, documenting attacks on civilians by the Israeli military and the role of the United States in the conflict. The reporting is anchored in the first-hand experiences of three Palestinian families who recount the horrors they endured as Gaza came under attack and their ongoing struggle for survival. The piece also provides a comprehensive account of the killing of 6-yearold Hind Rajab, whose death reverberated across the world as a symbol of the tragedy. The Night Won’t End is a remarkable, gut-wrenching yet cinematically beautiful film.
