The Guardian has won a News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Continuing Longform Coverage for its documentary film, Along the Green Line, recognising the newspaper's continued investment in wide-ranging multimedia reporting on some of the most pressing global crises of our time.
Created by a diverse team of Israeli, Palestinian, and international filmmakers, including reporter Matthew Kassell, producer and editor Kiri Evangelou, cinematographer Ayman Abu Ramuz, coordinator Guy Barak, and editor Frances Rankin, the series delves into the experiences of people living on both sides of the Green Line—the border established as part of the Oslo Accords in 1949—and how physical barriers, dehumanizing rhetoric, and the emotional toll of the conflict have impacted their lives.
Filmed against a backdrop of military incursions, checkpoints and ongoing violence, this three-part series ultimately reveals how propaganda and fear have led to historic aspirations for peace becoming increasingly disconnected from the reality of those living on the ground.
This award marks the Guardian's fourth in the News and Documentary Emmy category. The Guardian has previously won Emmys for its groundbreaking coverage of Edward Snowden's revelations about the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2014, the deadly US immigration crisis in 2015, and the plight of Libyan refugees seeking safe passage to Europe in 2022. Guardian Documentaries' Give Me Shelter, which explores the growing intersection of child exploitation and social media, was also nominated for the Outstanding Short Documentary award in 2026.
Temujin Doran, acting head of video at The Guardian, said: «"Along the Green Line was made under incredibly challenging conditions by teams who were utterly committed to telling a truthful and humane story. This Emmy recognition on the global stage is incredibly significant and reflects the Guardian's commitment to creating space for insightful journalism at a time of profound conflict.".
The Guardian's editor-in-chief, Catherine Viner, said: «"At the Guardian, we believe documentaries are a powerful way to engage audiences around the world and illuminate complex issues with depth, humanity, and nuance. Along the Green Line embodies this mission beautifully, combining deeply researched journalism with bold multimedia innovation. My warmest congratulations to Temujin Doran, Matthew Cassell, Krii Evangelou, Ayman Abu Ramuz, and the entire team on this wonderful Emmy Award win in the News and Documentary category.".
