The documentary “Harvest of Empire,” based on the book by Democracy Now!'s Juan González, has won an award for the best use of archival footage at the International Documentary Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The film uses rarely seen archival material to reveal the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and today's immigration crisis. Other winners included “The Island President,” about ousted Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed in a special environmental category, and “Searching for Sugar Man,” about the musician Rodriguez, for best feature.
