Belinda Hawkins and Elena Christie have won the Best TV Current Affairs/Feature Over 10 minutes Quill for their documentary on ABC broadcaster Red Symons' 18-year-old son, Samuel.
Judges Citation
Not only was “The Story of Samuel” one of the most talked about television stories of 2010, the judges said it was also one of the most inspirational. It took us inside the heart breaking private journey of Red Symon’s family, and led to an apology from the Royal Childrens Hospital and changes to clinical practice.
