Some 200 producers from 60 nations are vying for the Al Jazeera Golden Prize, granted by the main television network of the Arab world and the Middle East, which also has channels specialized in documentaries, for children and sports programs.
Under the slogan Five Years of Hope, the event includes the categories of short, medium and full-length films, represented by 43, 41, and 18 works respectively, sources from the Organizing Committee told Prensa Latina.
Proof of the producers’ connection with the planet’s reality is the high number of items referring to denunciations of Israel’s repressive policy against the Palestinian people, climate change, and the proliferation of poverty.
