Swaziland, one of the poorest regions in Africa, has the world's highest know rates of HIV infection and AIDS. Approximately 70,000 children younger than 17 have lost one or both parents to AIDS.

Comments (Richard Koci Hernandez)

The judges raised concerns again over the difficult choices to be made in this category because the entries are so broad, ranging from news feature to happy feature.

It was a category with some creative and immersive stories like the AIDS and India piece from the LA Times. On the flip-side we saw visual stunning features that were way too long in length or had very poor audio technique. Another judge also commented, " too long, weak editing". Some pieces would've placed with just a better edit.

"Father Tim"
Moving! As close to 'perfect as it gets'. I can't find anything wrong with it. Unanimous first place.
Vukani means "Wake up!"
mix of all audio narratives. Outstanding reporting and visuals.
"Life at a Ramadi Outpost"
Dramatic but not gratuitous, extremely well edited and stunning visuals.
"Card Stacker"
The judges said, " A laugh out loud feature, fun, done well." Simple, straight forward use that took advantage of the power of the medium. It was the perfect choice of technology, several days, with remotes at night and  hand held shots, sweet!.
