Big Win at Banff!

Daily Variety’s headline read, ‘RAIN’ STORMS BANFF as White Light/Black Rain, won the Grand Prize at the Banff World TV Festival’s Rockie Awards held in Alberta, Canada.

Steven Okazaki’s HBO Documentary Films production also won "Best History and Biography Program" and the "NHK Best Asian Program" prizes. The Rockie Awards acknowledge the best in international television programming.

The critically acclaimed documentary, which features fourteen Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, is a remarkable document of the only times nuclear weapons have been used in war.

Steven Okazaki has just completed a haunting new film called THE CONSCIENCE OF NHEM EN. 30 years after the Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror, it tells the stories of three survivors of the notorious Tuol Sleng Prison, also known as S-21, where 17,000 Cambodians were imprisoned and killed in the late 1970s. The documentary focuses on the extraordinary ID photos taken of the prisoners, in some cases, taken just moments before they were executed, by 16 year-old soldier/photographer Nhem En.
