We won the prize for the best Web Video documentary at the Hungarian Kreat\u00edv Magazine’s Annual contest, and we won the grand prize, a GoPro camera, for our humane approach to the issues we deal with.<\/p>\n

At the Award Ceremony: Anita Vod\u00e1l of the Roma Program, Istv\u00e1n G\u00e1bor Tak\u00e1cs and R\u00f3bert Bord\u00e1s of the Video Program and R\u00f3za, Robi’s daughter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the third year in a row that we’ve won first prize at Kreat\u00edv magazine’s annual Web Video Contest.<\/p>\n

This time we won the first prize for our movie ‘InSite: Not Just Injecting But Connecting.’ InSite is the only legally-operating injecting facility in North America, supervising more than a million injections since 2003, without a single death. Our fifteen-minute documentary introduces the services of InSite, and their heroic fight with a government that has tried everything to shut the program down – so far without success. The movie, produced by Istv\u00e1n G\u00e1bor Tak\u00e1cs and P\u00e9ter S\u00e1rosi, can be watched here:<\/p>\n

We also submitted the HCLU’s series, entitled “Peculiar Neighbours of Ours: People with Disabilities in Hungary”, which seeks to cover the situation of people with mental disability, multiple disabilities, and autism. These movies were produced by Tam\u00e1s Verdes, R\u00f3bert Bord\u00e1s and Melinda Zsolt.<\/p>\n

For the report category, we put forward our movie, “For a Better Future: We don’t patrol, we observe.<\/a>” The uniformed “For a Better Future Union”, tied to the radical right wing party Jobbik, has appeared in Magyarb\u00e1nhegyes. They say they are there to protect civilians, but in truth they terrorise and frighten Roma people and children. Locals say police are failing to protect them. Uniformed patrolling activity by paramilitary groups has been banned after Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6spata, but it has continued in Magyarb\u00e1nhegyes. In our movie, locals tell us how they are being frightened by them, and also, how there was no trouble between Roma and non Roma citizens in the village.<\/p>\n
