Stuart Ramsay, the chief correspondent, and his team undertook a month-long covert expedition where they were integrated into the nation’s clandestine resistance effort.
They saw unquestionable proof of war crimes as well as an incredible attempt by medics to save lives at a covert jungle hospital.
They won in the current affairs category of the news and documentary awards, which took place in New York on Wednesday, for their work, The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar.
Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar is experiencing a civil war between ethnic armies and militias and a military junta.
It all started in 2021 when the junta took power, sparking large-scale protests in the streets that were violently put down.
Upon accepting the prize, Ramsay expressed her gratitude to senior producer Dominique Van Heerden, stating that “she made it happen, she wouldn’t let it go,” for her contributions to the lengthy production.
Film editor Tom Sue Yek and cameraman Richie Mockler joined the two on stage.
In addition, Ramsay expressed gratitude to management for granting him permission to spend a month in the bush, “where there’s no way you can speak to us.”.
