A Massacre Foretold (massacreforetold.com) produced by Lansdowne Productions
and directed by Nick Higgins has received the joint WACC – SIGNIS Human Rights Award for the Best Documentary Film in 2007.
WACC and SIGNIS organize Ecumenical or Interfaith juries in more than 30 film festivals around the world, including Cannes, Berlin and Venice.
Although both organizations sponsor film prizes this is the first time that a joint award has been made for a documentary film. Click for info..
Director Nick Higgins said, “It is extremely gratifying to be recognised in this way by two such prestigious international organizations so active in the world of cinema. The film attempts to shine a light on an ongoing injustice in Mexico and this award will help bring the often overlooked tragedy of the Acteal massacre to greater international attention.”
