Brisa Wins Silver Telly Award for Excellence in Documentary Filmmaking

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Abundance Studios^® is proud to announce that Brisa, a powerful and deeply moving documentary from Emmy^® Award-Winning Director Nick Nanton, has been honored with a Silver Telly Award, one of the industry's most respected accolades for video and television excellence.

Brisa tells the remarkable true story of Brisa De Angulo Losada, a Bolivian woman who survived sexual abuse and courageously took on an entire legal system to fight for justice—not just for herself, but for survivors across Latin America and around the world. The film has resonated with audiences and critics alike for its raw emotional impact and its unflinching exploration of one woman’s fight to spark systemic change.

“This award means a great deal to everyone involved,” said Nick Nanton, director and producer. “But more than anything, it’s a tribute to Brisa herself—her bravery, her voice, and her unwavering fight for justice.”

The documentary was recently featured by Collider and was shortlisted for the 2024 IDA Documentary Awards, continuing to gain momentum as a vital and timely story of personal courage and global impact.

The Telly Awards, now in their 46th year, honor excellence in video and television across all screens. The Silver Telly places Brisa among the top-tier of global documentary storytelling.
