In 2022, the Francisco Pizarro Special Award went to Roge Blasco, a much-loved Basque journalist recognised for his long career in the field of travel, adventure and cultural dissemination.
Throughout his career, he has directed and presented emblematic programmes such as ‘Levando anclas’ and ‘La casa de la palabra’ on Radio Euskadi, ‘Tierra a la vista’ on La 2 TVE, and ‘Doctor Livingston, supongo’ on ETB2. He has also made 13 documentaries in countries such as Uganda, Equatorial Guinea and Holland, and has collaborated with numerous press outlets in the Basque Country.
His links with the Cimasub began in the early years of the event, when he met Francisco Pizarro. Since then, his support and closeness have been fundamental, serving as a loudspeaker for the festival through interviews and reports during many editions.
Coinciding with the announcement of his professional retirement, at Subacuáticas Real Sociedad we wanted to recognise his commitment and generosity with this award named after Paco Pizarro, a friend and teacher whom Roge also helped to give a voice to on many occasions.
