Hi Revealer,
I’m thrilled to share the news that our documentary film The Grab recently took home an Emmy Award for outstanding documentary research.
Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the film follows CIR reporter Nate Halverson over seven years and across five continents as he investigates the global scramble for food and water resources—and the powerful interests hiding in the shadows.
As it becomes increasingly difficult to get substantive, deeply reported documentaries funded and distributed, a project like this is a strong reminder of how crucial the support is of foundations and individual readers and listeners. Stories that spotlight abuses of power must be available on the world’s largest platforms if we hope to inform the public and spark real change.
The Emmy Award is a testament not only to the incredible work of our newsroom, but also to your support. Today, we share this success with you. We could not have done this—and so many other projects—without you.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch The Grab on Hulu and most video-on-demand platforms, including Apple TV and Amazon Prime. And if you’d like a sneak peek, you can check out the Emmy-nominated trailer for the film. Thank you again for your support of this increasingly important work.
All the best,
Amanda Pike
