Deeyah Khan nominated for two BAFTA Awards

They include America’s War on Abortion which has been nominated twice.

• Firstly, in the Current Affairs category at the British Academy Television Awards.
   
• Secondly, Deeyah Khan has been nominated in the best Director: Factual category at the Television Craft Awards.

America’s War on Abortion was filmed across America during the pandemic and centers on the important work of an Alabama abortion clinic. It showed female healthworker's courage in providing essential reproductive healthcare - and the vicious opposition they face from anti-abortion activists.
