Liberia: Courage under fire award for filmmakers

Jonathan Stack and James Brabazon will receive the International Documentary Association's (IDA's) Courage Under Fire Award for their film 'Liberia: An Uncivil War', which was produced for the Discovery Times Channel. The documentary follows a rebel army made up of indigenous Liberians intent on overthrowing the government of then-President Charles Taylor. IDA Executive Director Sandra Ruch says the Courage Under Fire Award is a special tribute, only given once before, to documentarians who distinguish themselves in the face of extraordinary danger.
