HBO documentary boss Sheila Nevins will be presented with the third annual Doc Mogul award this spring at Hot Docs, cheering her award-winning tenure at the U.S. pay channel. Nevins, who after 30 years at HBO has had a hand in almost 200 projects, will be presented with the award on May 5 in Toronto, during the run of the annual doc festival.

Nevins has produced titles including When the Levees Broke, Spike Lee’s four-part series on post-Katrina New Orleans; White Light/Black Rain, the Emmy-winning look back on the first A-bombs; and Cracked Not Broken, the portrait of crack addiction by Toronto’s Paul Perrier.

The Doc Mogul award has previously gone to the BBC’s Nick Fraser and Rudy Buttignol, formerly of TVOntario.
