Roger Arnold - Winner
Red Shirts Protest
Shot in Thailand, April - May 2010
Commissioned and broadcast by Wall Street Journal / wsj.com
This footage is a detailed diary of events in Bangkok during the final week of the anti-government protests in May 2010. Close, immediate and dramatic, we see the conflict from both the perspective of the protestors’ and the Thai army.
Roger is based in Bangkok - the story unfolded on his doorstep, and he was on the streets day and night, filming events as they happened. His footage shows the devastating violence of the protests, and also their tragic results - among the many people injured during the conflict were several of Roger’s journalist friends, one of whom was killed.
The judges thought that this was a "powerful and comprehensive piece of work". One said: "As you would expect from a photo-journalist, the photography is fantastic. Roger showed initiative and courage; he covered the story from all angles, from all locations - you couldn't ask for more."
