The IDA Awards:
Since 1984, the IDA Documentary Awards have recognized a diverse range of emerging and established filmmakers, and expanded to include recognition of artistic direction, audio documentaries, documentary journalism, and music documentaries, as well as individual honors such as the Courage Under Fire Award and Career Achievement Award. In 2022, a new category was introduced that honors programs made exclusively for broadcast and streaming, “Best TV Feature Documentary Or Mini-Series,” as introduced by NPR Reporter Adolfo Guzman Lopez. And Fannie Lou Hamer’s America won.
