Deborah Davies, Kevin Hirten, Nicholas Dove, Craig Pennington, Emmanuel Panaretos & Phil Rees for Al Jazeera Media Network Al Jazeera

Broadcast shortly before a general election in Dominica, the documentary shows how the leaders of both main political parties are willing to accept secret campaign contributions from foreigners seeking the privileges of diplomatic status.

Undercover with the Clerics: Iraq’s Secret Sex Trade


Paddy Wells, Mais Al-Bayaa, Nawal Al Maghafi, Monica Garnsey, Chris Mitchell & Gary Beelders for BBC News Arabic BBC News Arabic


In this undercover investigation, Nawal Al Maghafi exposes a secret world of sexual exploitation in Iraq. She uncovers how some Shia clerics are grooming and exploiting vulnerable girls, leaving them trapped in prostitution. A young widow alleges that a cleric sold her to his friends in a prostitution ring, while secret filming reveals another cleric conducting a so-called ‘pleasure marriage’ with a girl he believes to be only 13.


Undercover: Inside China’s Digital Gulag


Robin Barnwell, Gesbeen Mohammad, Guy Creasey, Simon Russell & David Henshaw for Hardcash Productions ITV


ITV goes undercover into China’s secretive Xinjiang region. The Chinese government is holding an estimated million or more Muslims in detention camps – the largest incarceration of an ethnic group since WW2. This unprecedented investigation reveals how twelve million other Muslims are living in a human laboratory where the world’s most invasive surveillance state is being created to control them, destroying their cultural identity and creating technologies that are being exported to authoritarian states worldwide.


This eye-opening documentary alerted the world to terrifying control the Chinese state is exerting on Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. The judges commended the courage of the undercover reporters who filmed at huge personal risk. As a journalistic investigation, this film had everything: immediacy, urgency and dedication to getting an important story out to the world.
