THU., MARCH 28 — The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation announced today that Sasha Joelle Achilli, producer of FRONTLINE’s 2023 documentary Inside the Iranian Uprising has been honored with a Gracie Award in the “Producer – Documentary [TV – National]” category.
Awarded annually, the Gracies “recognize individual achievement and exemplary programming created by, for and about women in news and entertainment in front of and behind the camera and microphone.”
Inside the Iranian Uprising chronicled sweeping, anti-government protests across Iran following the 2022 death in police custody of a young woman, Mahsa Zhina Amini, who was accused of not adhering to the Islamic regime’s strict dress code.
Drawing on a trove of footage filmed by protesters, producer Achilli and Iranian filmmaker and director Majed Neisi trace how the protests began in the Kurdish parts of Iran and spread throughout the country — and how the authorities responded with force.
