‘A Mother Apart’ Producer Alison Duke to Receive Don Haig Award at Hot Docs
Hot Docs is to honor Canadian writer-producer-director Alison Duke with the Don Haig Award, which recognizes 'creative vision and entrepreneurship.'
Duke said: “When my partner, Ngardy Conteh George, and I joined forces to found Oya Media Group in 2018, we did so to bring an authentic perspective to screen-based platforms through socially relevant, life-changing stories that amplify Black experiences. This five-part educational series told the story of Black Canadian social justice campaigners such as Dudley Laws, Charles Roach, Marlene Green, Gwen and Lenny Johnson, and Rosie Douglas. Duke exec produced Blue Ant Media’s three-part docu-series “Evil by Design: Surviving Nygard” for CBC Docs, which earned her a Canadian Screen Award nomination for best history documentary or series in 2023.
