Al Jazeera English's Fault Lines won two awards at the 46th News and Documentary Emmy Awards in New York on June 25.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, regarded as the gold standard for television excellence in the United States, recognised Children of the Darien Gap  in both the Outstanding Hard News Feature - Long Form and Outstanding Editing – News categories.

“Our congratulations go to the Fault Lines team for yet another outstanding documentary that exemplifies Al Jazeera's distinctive brand of journalism—putting humanity at the centre of its stories,” said Issa Ali, Al Jazeera English Acting Managing Director.

Al Jazeera English faced competition from notable organisations such as Netflix, The New York Times, National Geographic, CBS News, and The Wall Street Journal in various categories.

Commenting on the achievement, Laila Al Arian, Executive Producer of Fault Lines, said, “This is a remarkable milestone and a reflection of the extraordinary talent, commitment, and collaborative effort across our teams.”

The film follows the perilous escape journey of Swanny Flores, a 19-year-old mother, along with her two young daughters and 12-year-old brother, as they navigate the Darien Gap jungle alongside hundreds of others.

Amid historic regional migration and new travel restrictions from Central American countries for migrants, the Darien Gap has become one of the most traversed migration routes in the world, leading to a burgeoning humanitarian crisis. In 2024, more than half a million people made their way through the jungle, a quarter of whom were children.

The Fault Lines’ team joins the Flores family as they undertake the gruelling 106 km journey, overcoming exhaustion and the fear of disease, robbery, and rape. Once they begin their trek, there is no turning back; the only way out is through it.

This year, Fault Lines was nominated for an unprecedented seven awards. The other nominations— all films focusing on Gaza— were The Night Won't End: Biden's War, Starving Gaza, and All That Remains.
