Jury comments

"I’m so pleased that work like this is out in the world. The purity of purpose strikes home just as much as the persistence needed to make it happen. The fact that the team had to overcome a global tech giant to make it happen restores faith in the power of creativity - and bloody mindedness. It is possible to create change in the face of corporate indifference.”
