Local freelancers dominate Rory Peck Awards line-up

This year s awards honour work filmed by Iraqi, Pakistani, Palestinian, Syrian, Italian, British and French freelance finalists. Entries from inside conflicts in the Middle East feature prominently, alongside coverage from the frontlines of Eastern Ukraine, and shocking human stories uncovered in Pakistan and the Philippines.

"MICHAEL HARRIT, Marketing Director, Media Solutions, Sony Europe. This year, with so many local freelancers represented, those images are even more impactful coming from situations and events so personal and close to home. Our sponsorship of the Rory Peck Awards over the last twenty years, is Sony s recognition of the immense value that freelancers hold and our support of the work of the Rory Peck Trust provides freelancers with the safety skills, knowledge and support they need to continue to work with confidence."
