RFE/RL’s documentary wins Silver at New York Festivals Awards

Featured Image

RFE/RL’s video documentary Desperate Honeymoon won the Silver World Medal at the New York Festivals International Television and Film Awards in the Magazine Format/Information Program category.

The Magazine Format is a subsection of the Documentary/Information Program categories all of which apply to submissions which explore a specific topic or point of view in-depth or that deal with issues of interest and importance and may be either individual programs or series.

Desperate Honeymoon follows a newlywed Syrian couple as they flee their war-torn country and make the fraught journey to Europe in pursuit of a new life. It personalizes a story often told in terms of numbers and statistics, portraying the individual choices made by two migrants in their own words.

The documentary also won a Bronze medal in a second category in the same year’s competition.
