The News & Documentary Emmy Awards were announced Monday, Sept. 28, in New York City.
Price produced the documentary, which focuses on the practice of diving into water he described in a recent interview with the Dayton Daily News as having the consistency of “a chocolate milkshake … It’s dangerous because it’s unstable, especially dealing with the tide. The water is moving.”
Entire families worked in this mining process. Children as young as 6 years old shoveled, panned and sacked the ore while teenagers were involved in the diving itself.
After the documentary aired, the Philippine parliament banned underwater minging, citing the NewsHour piece.
