Peace and Sport will reveal the winner of its first Documentary Prize during the SPORTEL Awards ceremony, held in the Grimaldi Forum on Tuesday 12 October.
Three filmmakers have been shortlisted for their documentaries, which emphasize the positive role of sport in peace promotion. The three nominees are:
Thomas Goltz for On Aggregate, the saga of a ‘refugee’ football club from Azerbaijan that has not played a ‘home’ game since 1993 and the destruction of its home city of Agdam during the Karabakh War;
Marion Poizeau for Into the Sea, the story of three women and their quest to bridge cultural and gender divides in a remote region of Iran, to make history and introduce sport to the country;
Barney Douglas for Warrions, a documentary following a group of young Maasai who, in a remote region of Kenya, have remarkably formed a cricket team.
The winner of the first Peace and Sport Documentary Prize will receive the trophy from Champion for Peace and former English rugby player Dan Luger, in the presence of Joël Bouzou, President and Founder of L’Organisation pour la Paix par le Sport.
