The documentary “Last Refuge – The House at the Gate to the Sahara” was awarded this year’s Civis Media Prize for integration and cultural diversity.
The Arte film by author and director Ousmane Samassékou is a “work regarding people on the move, on the southern edge of the Sahara, regarding their dreams and trauma,” said the Civis Media Foundation on Tuesday.
The documentation tells of the fate of the migrants – “sensitive but never intrusive, close but never encroaching,” said the communication regarding the award in Berlin. The production received the main prize of 15,000 euros and the Civis Video Award in the information category.
Every year, the Civis Media Prize honors program performances on radio, television and the Internet that deal with the topics of migration, integration, cultural diversity and, accordingly, cohesion in Europe. The prize is awarded in several categories.
For example, the Video Award in the entertainment category goes to author Ulf Ryberg for the first episode of the series “The Lost”. She tells of a truck driver who wants to smuggle several Syrian refugees to Sweden for a fee. The podcast “Unter Almans – Migrantische Geschichte(n)” and the radio feature “Welcome Home Dr. Marco. Search for identity between Karl-Marx-Stadt and Kenya” also received awards. Journalist Isabel Schayani receives a special award for her reporting on the subject of flight and asylum.
