The Guardian has won a News & Documentary Emmy Award for Along the Green Line in Outstanding Continuing Coverage, Long Form, recognizing the newsroom’s continued investment in ambitious multimedia reporting on some of the most urgent global crises of our time.
Produced by a diverse crew of Israeli, Palestinian and international film-makers – including reporter Matthew Cassel, producer and editor Kyri Evangelou, cinematographer Ayman Abu Ramouz, fixer Guy Barak and editor Frances Rankin – the series intimately captures the experiences of people living on either side of the “green line”, the 1949 armistice border established during the Oslo accords, and how the physical barriers, dehumanizing rhetoric and emotional toll of the conflict has affected their lives.
