BERLIN - iSportsWire -- "Not Going Quietly," directed by Nicholas Bruckman, produced by People's Television, and executive produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, has been awarded the Cinema for Peace Award for Political Film of the Year 2022 in Berlin. Cinema for Peace has largely been recognized by the film community as a powerful global initiative. With this year's Cinema for Peace Gala taking place during the Berlin International Film Festival, this marks an exciting moment for the People's Television team.

"Not Going Quietly" tells the inspiring story of Ady Barkan, a community activist whose life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with ALS.
