This investigation by Solomon, Forensis, The Guardian and ARD forensically examined a 2023 shipwreck that killed more than 500 irregular migrants in Greek waters. The jury praised it for its innovative storytelling.
By exposing failures in the official responses, the project has had a significant impact in Greece, contributing to a compelling case that is now part of ongoing court proceedings.
With an interdisciplinary approach incorporating forensic modelling, the team demonstrated exceptional cross-border collaboration and swift execution, interviewing affected families and producing a powerful video, the jury said.
