CANNES, France—Before this year’s Cannes Lions, there was a great deal of expectation surrounding Droga5’s work for The New York Times. Compelling in its message and expertly crafted, “The Truth Is Worth It” series shines a light into the relentless drive of journalists and the free press to unearth the truth to hold power to account.

At the Cannes Lions, the Film jury deemed the work from the agency as the very best, awarding the campaign of five ads a Grand Prix.
