Firing Line (2006) - CBC

The Firing Line 2006 celebrates the "best" and "most dangerous"

photojournalism of the year. Includes this year's nominees and winners

of the 2006 Rory Peck Award.



In 1993, freelance cameraman Rory Peck was killed in the crossfire while

filming a coup in Moscow. To honour his life and to acknowledge the risk

that freelance and staff photojournalists face while covering controversial

and dangerous stories, awards are given out annually for what's judged to be

the best from the frontline filmmakers.



Their stories are from Afghanistan, Iraq, Liberia, and Gaza ... stories

gathered at great risk by those people who believe in the importance of

what they, and their colleagues, do. As one of them has said ... "a camera

is the only weapon of the unarmed".
