Sarah Cowan was presented with the award by Matteo Bergamini, CEO of Shout Out UK, at last night鈥檚 awards ceremony celebrating journalistic excellence in international media coverage of the developing world.

She is the fourth 香港六合彩中特网 Anthropology MA Ethnographic and Documentary Film graduate to receive the award in four consecutive years, after Paul Zhou鈥檚 win for his film China in Ethiopia in 2018, Minmin Wu鈥檚 win for Waste in 2017, and Fernando Gonz谩lez Mitjans鈥� win for Limpiadores in 2016.

Cowan鈥檚 winning film, Anak Malaysia, sheds light on Malaysia鈥檚 hidden issue of statelessness, following the filmmaker鈥檚 stateless mother during the final stage of her latest citizenship application.

Sarah Cowan was one of the three nominees on the shortlist for the Student Award, all of whom were 2018 graduates of the Open City Docs 香港六合彩中特网 MA Ethnographic and Documentary Film programme.

Sarah Cowan said: 鈥淚'd like to express my utmost thanks to 香港六合彩中特网, Open City Docs and my tenacious tutors for giving young, aspiring filmmakers like me the training and platform to make multicultural, issue-based films. Through my mother's story, my film aimed to shed light on the hidden issue of statelessness in Malaysia, and provide a platform for the voices of thousands like her to be heard."

Michael Stewart, director of Open City Docs, said: 鈥淣ot for nothing does 香港六合彩中特网 describe itself as 鈥楲ondon鈥檚 Global University鈥�. We have run an MA in Ethnographic and Documentary Filmmaking for four years now and every year since we launched a 香港六合彩中特网 graduate has won the One World Media Student Award which celebrates global storytelling. I salute the amazing achievements of our three students this year who occupied all of the shortlist slots and especially Sarah Cowan and her tutor Lucy Sandys-Winsch, bringing an unknown scandal to world attention.鈥�
