The 22nd International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights awarded its Grand Prize to Ed Lovelace's NAME ME LAWAND.

Five-year-old Lawand is on a quest to find a world where there are people like him – people who will understand him. Since birth, Lawand has been profoundly deaf and unable to communicate with those around him. He undertakes a treacherous journey with his family from Iraq to Derby, home of the Royal School for the Deaf. But this new life soon comes under threat when the family face deportation. Along with members of the Derby community, they begin a new quest – a fight to stay in the place they now call home.

UK audiences can see Lawand's extraordinary story on Channel 4 from today.
