The six-part drama bested 10 contenders from around the world to win Best Series, while co-lead Maya Landsman won the Best Performance prize.
Produced by Public broadcaster Kan, The Lesson, which co-stars Doron Ben-David (Fauda), tells the story of a troubled high school teacher and his rebellious student, who engage in an emotional, politically charged conflict in class over racism, which then spirals out of control thanks to a social media post.
The show, written by Deakla Keydar and directed by Eitan Zur, also stars Alma Zaxk, Irit Kaplan, Dvir Benedek, Lev Levin, and Amir Banai.
