"Our jury has decided to award the Human Rights Dox prize to Bernadett Tuza-Ritter's A Woman Captured. With utmost care and sensitivity for its subject, this extraordinary documentary reveals the tragedy of how an otherwise clever woman can find herself trapped and victimized but, by the events it arouses, it also carries the empowering potential of the camera. Indeed it is the art form's very ability to carry the voice of those unheard and the images of those unseen, as well as this director's willingness to simply lend a sympathetic ear, which ultimately allows Edith to escape from the asphyxiating intimacy of her captivity to the liberating horizons she runs to. Thank you and congratulations to a documentary which has stayed with us, will undoubtedly continue to do so, and which we hope will succeed in bringing to this issue the attention it deserves."
