The Ecumenical Jury awards a Commendation to "Midnight Traveler" for its singular depiction of the refugee experience.

His raw and endearing images, deepened by his wife and daughters’ determined spirits, reveal hopeful humanity and enduring love in the midst of constant motion. (Photo: © Old Chilly Pictures)
