Mipcom Cannes Diversity TV Awards: ‘White Nanny Black Child’ and ‘Lost Boys and Fairies’ Among Top Winners


The U.K. dominated the diversity accolades with 3 wins, ahead of Canada, while the Behind the Scenes Impact Award went to Banijay Launch.

Picking up the award onstage, Endemol Shine North America CEO Sharon Levy said the initiative was quintessential to her group to “open up opportunities for women, help them come up with new ideas and have a seat at a table they donl’t normality get.” Norway, another champion of diversity and inclusion, scooped the Representation of Dasability-Non Scripted Award with “Gigantene” (“The Giants”), produced by Teddy TV for pubcaster NRK. The feature directed by Tanith Glynn-Maloney turns on Percy Boy Collins (10) and his friends as they outsmart a gang of bullies to triumph at their school’s athletics carnival, emerging as heroes of their own epic adventure.
