A French documentary titled Philippines: Diving for Gold has been nominated for a 2025 International Emmy Award in the Current Affairs category. The film explores the lives of young divers in the Philippines who risk everything to collect gold.
Produced by Keyi Productions and ARTE G.E.I.E., the docu‑film dives deep into the economic and environmental challenges faced by these communities. It highlights how poverty drives many to take dangerous risks underwater, with little safety equipment.
The nomination underscores global recognition of the Philippines’ social and economic issues—and how they’re being captured through international storytelling.
