| It was real fun working with a creative, caring and intelligent team. The film is an inspiration - totally surpassed our expectations. I really don’t know how they managed to do it on the budget. UNISON |
Middle East and media co-op
media co-op's Lucinda Broadbent was invited to coach documentary film-makers from Middle-Eastern countries at a pitching workshop in Turkey.
Winner of the $15,000 ITVS prize at the event was Palestinian director Emad Burnat, with "Five Broken Cameras", a dramatic documentary on his village's resistance against Israel's security fence.
"A huge thanks to Lucinda for her advice and input" said Emad, whose life was saved when an Israeli bullet hit his camera instead of his face.
