It may not make the major newspapers, but at least it's on GOOGLE NEWS!!!! (Sorry, I just wanted to mention that again!)Just went to Google News, and found this at the top of the pile:
COLOGNE, Germany -- Nick Broomfield's "Battle for Haditha," a dramatic re-enactment of a real-life massacre of Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines, was the surprise winner of this year's Emden-Norderney film festival, taking the Bernhard Wicki prize for best film and the DGB Film prize for work that engages with social or political issues.
FYI -
Bernhard Wicki (28 October 1919 in St. Pölten, Austria - 5 January 2000 in Munich) was an actor and director.
He fought in the Army against France in WW2, and his experiences affected both him and his films. As of 2000 there is a Bernhard-Wicki-Filmpreis which awards 15,000 euros to upcoming Austrian film makers.
