APTN program wins Rosie.
Northlands Agricom in Edmonton was the site of the 2009 Alberta
Film and Television Awards last month. APTN's Fish Out of Water won
the Rosie for the Best Documentary Series. "APTN congratulates the
producers of Fish Out of Water for their continued success," said
Jean LaRose, APTN Chief Executive Officer. "Fish Out of Water is a
strong example of the unique programming on APTN. Although the
show's context is fun, it also has a strong message about the
importance of preservation and celebration of the culture, traditions,
and identity of Aboriginal peoples." Fish Out of Water was also
nominated for Best Original Musical Score on Fiction. In 2008, the show
earned a nomination for Best General/ Human Interest Series at the 23rd
Annual Gemini Awards.
