Exodus: Our Journey to Europe wins at Prix Italia 2016
03 October
PRIX ITALIA 2016 WINNER - TV DOCUMENTARY
The Jury :
Isabel Junius (VRT, Belgium), Catherine Alvaresse (France 2, France), Sean Mac Giolla Phadraig (RT, Ireland), Nobumoto Suzuki (NHK, Japan), Don Cameron (BBC, United Kingdom)
The President:
Sean Mac Giolla Phadraig (RT, Ireland)
EXODUS: BREAKING INTO EUROPE BBC - UNITED KINGDOM
Direction: James Bluemel - Producing organisation: BBC
Motivations:
The migrant crisis is rarely out of headlines, but in the method, the ambition and the scale of the approach taken by the makers of Exodus, the Jury felt it had for the first time arrived at a true understanding of what is happening today. By giving their contributors cameras, by allowing them tell us their own story the film gives dignity and a humanity to the migrants. We got to make the journey alongside Ahmad, Hassan, Israa and her family we felt sad alongside them, laughed alongside them; and got angry alongside them.
This film is essential now and for the future, and gives hope to the world too.
