The three winning films are:
- Beauty of a Stateless Mind, a film exploring the lives of three artists living in the Calais Jungle refugee camp
- Deeds not Words: The Suffragette Surgeons of WW1 unveiling the suffragettes who founded and operated a military hospital in the First World War
- Lula which follows the dilemma of a pregnant woman in German-occupied Poland who is confronted with undesirable visitors in the midst of the Second World War
