Stuff Circuit
Stuff Circuit won gold in the best use of online video category for the documentary Disordered.
It’s not the first time the projects have received global recognition.
Disordered won in the best use of online video category at the WAN-IFRA Digital Media Awards Worldwide in September.
At the time, one of the judges called it “a beautiful and gripping telling of an important national story of pain and abuse all too common in countries with a wounded and often overlooked population damaged before they were even born”.
The Lake won a gold award for narrative/documentary podcast at the New York Festival Radio Awards in April.
