Kin Hang Lee won the Undergraduate News award, for ‘Sexabled’ - which judges described as ‘a powerful film about an under-reported issue. With high production values, this film tackled a challenging subject in a sensitive and accomplished way.’

The Royal Television Society is Britain’s leading forum for television and related media. Chaired by Philip Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, the annual Undergraduate and Postgraduate Awards celebrates the very best in student television and is judged in six categories – Animation, Comedy & Entertainment, Drama, Factual, News and Open.
