UNICEF honoured for short film on 'Protecting Childhood' in Occupied Palestinian Territory

UNICEF has been honoured for its coverage of the challenges facing Palestinian children in ‘Protecting Childhood’, a short film that recently won the 2010 Communicator Award of Excellence, sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts.

“The Award of Excellence, our highest honour, is given to those entries whose ability to communicate puts them among the best in the field,” said an Academy spokesperson. UNICEF won its award in the charitable/non-profit category.

‘Protecting Childhood’ was commissioned by the European Union as part of a multimedia project highlighting its partnership with UNICEF in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Produced by Chris Niles and edited by John Mims, both of UNICEF, the five-minute documentary focuses on helping Palestinian children and their families cope with the conflict and violence that affect their daily lives.
