American freelancer Abdallah Omeish, who was born in Libya, has won this year's Rory Peck Award for Features, for his Benghazi film, Libya: Through the Fire - a portrait of the city, and one of its sons, Mohammed al-Nabbous - the first person to broadcast from within Libya and report on events in English and Arabic. Judges said the film was moving and powerful and felt the central character of Nabbous embodied the story of the Arab Spring.
