First up in our #RoryPeckAwards spotlight series is #News finalist Al-Emrun Garjon, a Bangladeshi freelance photojournalist and videographer, shortlisted for his film The Rohingya Crisis [1] 
100,000s of Rohingya Muslims have poured into Bangladesh since August 2017, fleeing persecution in the Rakhine province of #Myanmar. Garjon’s footage captures their struggle to survive this long journey in search of safety [2]
From September 2017 to April 2018, Garjon’s daily reports on the mass exodus of Rohingyas showed a deep commitment to covering breaking news and human-interest stories that illustrate human suffering in a new way [3]
#RoryPeckAwards judges said: “What struck me with Garjon’s piece was the individual moments. I had no idea that those fleeing did so through head-high water ... or that even getting off the boats was hazardous. The attention to detail is incredible” [4]
This year's winners will be announced at the #RoryPeckAwards 2018 on Thursday 1st November at London's BFI Southbank in a ceremony hosted by @AlexCrawfordSky and @BowenBBC. Join us: bit.ly/2NWILkk [5]
