Edit: I see where the 2017 Sundance award came from. On the French wiki page of Doucouré:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AFmouna_Doucour%C3%A9

It says in January 2017, she's awarded the Global Filmmaking Award for "Cuties", sponsored for the event by African-American director Ava DuVernay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AFmouna_Doucour%C3%A9

And from the English wiki, it says that award at Sundance 2017 was for the script. When was that co-founder of Sundance arrested? (rhetorical question) Then at Sundance 2020, she won the Directing Jury Award, praising her for her script (again?). Why the heck Sundance kept rewarding that project?
