Sean Smith, photographer with The Guardian has won a Royal Television Award for his work on Iraq: Apache Company.
Smith spent eight weeks with the US military’s Apache Company and filmed them as they went on daily routine investigations.
The film was described by the judges as “raw, brave, atmospheric and profoundly memorable. An important story very powerfully realised”.
The Guardian is the first newspaper to be given such an accolade which is normally awarded to TV production companies.
