Telemundo Wins News & Documentary Emmy for MURIENDO POR CRUZAR

The Telemundo documentary "Muriendo por Cruzar" earned a News and Documentary Emmy® Award in the category of Outstanding Investigative Journalism in Spanish.

Presented by Noticias Telemundo reporters Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, "Muriendo por Cruzar," describes the extreme weather conditions in the border, investigates reports of mass graves and shares the testimony of the forensic anthropologists charged with identifying the remains of those who perish in their quest.
