Channel 4BEST CONSTRUCTED DOCUMENTARY SERIES ‘
This highly original documentary format felt fresh and raw to the jury. The fi lm was high stakes and highly educative, taking the viewer on an unexpected journey along with the contributors. It never felt overly emotional but instead charted the diffi culties faced by each of the school children in a measured way. Refl ecting current societal issues of race and identity, but framing it within the context of a future generation, felt worthy and was poignant and thought-provoking. There was a Catherine wheel of impact as the ripple eff ect of the experiment spread beyond the children to their families and teachers and ultimately to viewers themselves.

BEST SPORTS DOCUMENTARY ‘
A meticulous and devastating fi lm exposing layer upon layer of cruelty and abuse. The bravery and self-possession of the women who were preyed upon was at times heart-breaking. A great piece of journalism that was never over- blown, detailing not just the behaviour of the sexual predator Dr Nassar, but also the system of cruelty imported from Romania and the willingness of USA Gymnastics to turn a blind eye in the service of power and money.
