NEW YORK — Kyoko Gasha, a Reuters TV reporter, has won a prestigious award from media professionals for her documentary about Japanese women living in New York.
"Mother's Way, Daughter's Choice" depicts professional women who have decided to carve out lives for themselves in Manhattan and the choices they have made along the way, partly reflecting Gasha's own experiences.
Gasha, 47, had already received the audience and best cultural documentary awards at this year's New York International Independent Film Festival, but this was the film's first award from a professional association.
