SAN JOSE, CA -- Tam Communications' one hour television special Preemies: The Fight For Life continues to gain national and international recognition, winning two new awards, including the prestigious CINE Golden Eagle Award.

The CINE Golden Eagle Awards celebrate excellence in non-theatrical documentary, short feature, educational and corporate film and video productions.
