Sky News has been nominated for an International Emmy Award for its coverage of the Myanmar civil war.

Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his crew went on a month-long undercover mission embedded with Myanmar’s secretive resistance movement.

They witnessed a remarkable effort by medics to save lives on the frontline at a secret hospital – the last of its kind, hidden in the jungle – as well as undeniable evidence of war crimes.

The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar is nominated in the current affairs category of the prestigious awards.
