Sky News nominated for International Emmy for Myanmar coverage

Sky News has been nominated for an International Emmy Award for its coverage of the Myanmar civil war.
Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his crew went on a month-long undercover mission embedded with Myanmar’s secretive resistance movement.

They witnessed a remarkable effort by medics to save lives on the frontline at a secret hospital – the last of its kind, hidden in the jungle – as well as undeniable evidence of war crimes.
The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar is nominated in the current affairs category of the prestigious awards.
