Television productions that took viewers inside a Somali pirate stronghold and a Taliban unit in Afghanistan are among the nominees for International Emmy awards for current affairs and news.
The eight nominees from six countries and the United Nations announced Thursday include “Unter Piraten” on Germany’s Infonetwork GmbH and Britain’s “Sky News Live at Five: Inside the Taliban.”
Brazil had two nominations. They were Discovery Networks Latin America’s “The Assassination of Jean Charles Meneses” about the fatal shooting of a Brazilian immigrant mistaken for a suicide bomber in London and TV Globo’s “Jornal Nactional: War on Drugs” about a raid by security forces on a drug dealer’s stronghold.
The winners will be announced Sept. 28 in New York.
