Telling a true story over multiple episodes can be a daunting task, having to balance the needs of story and pacing in unique ways. This award celebrates those who excel in diving deep into a subject, working over months and often years in the field and in the edit to create something worthy of a longform series. Previous winners in this category include America to Me (2019), Tricky Dick (2020), I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (2021), City So Real (2022), Black and Missing (2023), Paul T. Goldman (2024) and Telemarketers (2025).
