Donnacha O Brín and Kim Bartlet, the makers of "Chavez Inside the Coup" yesterday dedicated their award for best documentary film at the ESB Irish Media awards, to media activists everywhere and Indymedia Ireland in particular.

Speaking as they accepted their first of two awards of the night, Donnacha spoke of the manipulation of events by mainstream media, and the importance of grassroot media activism, that during their time filming in Venezuela they relied on footage gathered by local video activists. Dedicated the award to IMC Ireland, he spoke of it as an exciting and important development for activists in Ireland.
