Our documentary Children of the Darien Gap has just won an Overseas Press Club award. The judges called it “Powerful, poignant, and meticulously reported.” Was quite inspiring to go to the ceremony, see all the other top draw work being recognized and to be alongside it.

Más y más familias están cruzando el Tapón de Darien. En 2023 UNICEF dice que recibió 7 veces más niños al final de la ruta que 4 años antes. En este documental, seguimos una familia que intenta cruzar. Viene con subtitulos en Español. https://t.co/9x4eu69yr4

About 8000 people have been forced to flee the Russian offensive in North Eastern Ukraine. We had the chance to meet some of them at a displaced people center in Kharkiv City. Ludmila Fursova produced this, Jamil Bassil filmed and edited.

Claudia Sheinbaum has filled Mexico City's main plaza - the zocalo - without too much effort, and there's still an hour and a half to go till she's scheduled to arrive and officially kick off her presidential campaign.

This is well worth it with @Isabella_CS. The amount of times either via her articles or in a personal panic phone call she's illuminated me on Mexican economic policy I don't want to begin to count. Go if you can.

what a day for guatemalan democracy, after all the transparently grubby attempts to stop it happening, and what a great article from @palabrasdeabajo to sum it up.
