In the category?"Writing", the winner was the "The Elephant and the Termite", a co-production of Waterhole Films, Terra Mater Studios, NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation , Corporation for Public Broadcasting and The WNET Group in association with PBS . The movie tells an intriguing story written by Mark Deeble about a remarkable relationship between #elephants and termites as they shape a waterhole together.
