For the UNICEF Prize, we chose Sleeping Lions as “the best work that promotes understanding of the lives of children in difficult situations.” This short film uses the power of fiction to tell an authentic-feeling story about a teenager struggling with her past abuse and a present threat to her sister. The film movingly depicts her internal conflict, as she considers the consequences of speaking up or staying silent. Unfortunately, child abuse happens in all countries and cultures. By awarding the UNICEF Prize to Sleeping Lions, we hope others are encouraged to speak up and offer support.
