08 The Edward R. Murrow Award 2023 

Best TV, video or documentary interpretation of international affairs with a run time up to 30 minutes
RECIPIENTS: Mohammed Sawwaf, Ibrahim Al-Otla, Salah Al-Haw, Marwan Al-Sawwaf, Alef Multimedia and the Al Jazeera Witness Team
AFFILIATION: Al Jazeera English
HONORED WORK: “Witness - Rescue Mission Gaza”
The half-hour film follows an ambulance driver in this work in Gaza. We see poignant scenes like the ambulance worker reuniting with his children after weeks, handing them each a coin and a hug, and then getting back in his ambulance, and crying. Through all this, the journalists remain invisible, with no narration, commentary or judgment. One of the filmmakers was later killed in an Israeli airstrike, a second seriously injured.
