Sir Trevor McDonald, TV broadcaster and journalist, said at the awards "Amnesty persists where journalism leaves off. We visit these scenes and then move on. Amnesty has the virtue of sticking with the story and making sure the truth comes out,"[1]

The Overall winner was “Cold Blood - the Massacre of East Timor”, produced by Peter Gordon for First Tuesday, Yorkshire Television.[1]

The judges also specially mentioned the work of Christopher Olgiati, “The Nightrider” (HBO title "Southern Justice: The Murder of Medgar Evers ").[2][3][4]
