Nial Fulton, Ivan O'Mahoney and Sarah Ferguson win 2016 Walkley Documentary Award for 'Hitting Home' their acclaimed series on domestic violence
Nial Fulton and Ivan O'Mahoney accept the 2016 Walkley Documentary Award
Walkley Judge's citation: Hitting Home went beyond an excellent news/current affairs story. It both exploited the momentum at the time of broadcast around domestic violence and propelled the issue much further, engaging viewers in complexities of gender control and violence, viscerally confronting male perpetrators and showing impact on families. It revealed compassionately that domestic violence affects all classes of women. A powerful window into a national crisis and a call to arms.
