The JC’s Australian correspondent has won a prestigious journalism prize for a documentary on child sexual abuse inside the Chabad headquarters in Melbourne.
Dan Goldberg produced Code of Silence, which last week won the Walkley Award for Best Documentary in 2014. The Walkley Awards are the highest journalistic award in Australia.
Code of Silence, screened on ABC in September, follows the journey of Manny Waks after he went public with allegations that he was abused as a student at Yeshivah College. It also follows the parallel story of his father, Zephaniah, who backs his son but finds himself ostracised from his community.
