Digging up the past

ABC Commercial's The Digger (1 x 83' HD) has won the Gold award at the Cannes Corporate Media and Television Awards in the History and Civilization category.

The programme revisits the world's most infamous battle scenes - from the Boer War to the El Alamein front, following the rise of tough-as-nails soldiers and their well-earned reputation for wartime heroics and off-duty insubordination.

The historical documentary was produced by Bearcage Productions and broadcast on Foxtel's History Channel. It was launched at MIPCOM 2011.
