A Dominican television documentary about Juan Bosch won the prestigious Emmy award on Saturday. "89 años de entrega" covers the life and works of Juan Bosch, writer, former Dominican President, past presidential candidate and founder of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD). The documentary was produced by Fernando Hasbún and his wife Alicia Ortega. The documentary was originally shown on the Univision television chain as part of its "Los hombres del siglo" (Men of the Century) series. Three other Dominicans -Tony Dandrades, Ramón Carmona and Arsenio Rodríguez- had been nominated for Emmy’s in other categories, but did not win.
