Iran & The West wins One World Media Award
Norma Percy and Delphine Jaudeau were presented with the TV Documentary award at One World’s ceremony on Monday 22 June. Jury members Charlotte Moore, Lucinda Broadbent, Eddie Mirzoeff and Michelle Mitchell gave the following citation: “Iran & The West: The Pariah State is a glorious piece of work that humanises the story of Iran’s complex relationship with the West and throws light and understanding on a dark and complex corner of the world. Ambitious, compelling and full of revelation, Norma Percy in her inimitable style, tells the inside story of global politics through the personal perspective of two ex presidents of Iran, Hashemi Rafsanjani Mohammed Khatami, two founders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and leading westerners including Secretaries of State George Shultz and Madeleine Albright. With a stunning cast of interviewees and access to rare archive most films makers could only dream of, the jury feels this is political history made accessible and relevant and storytelling and journalism of the highest quality.”
