Our film ‘A Sporting Chance’, shown on BBC World TV, has won ‘Best Creative Documentary’ at The Association of International Broadcasters awards. The film won through in an event dominated by major broadcasters from around the world.
The Judges said: “This programme, from the series ‘Survivors’ Guide’, looked at Somali girls in a refugee camp fighting heated resistance from the community when they tried to establish a volley ball team. It was a very interesting social subject with balanced treatment of the different sides. It had very accurate and attentive editing and was highly relevant to international TV audiences well beyond the borders of Sudan.”
