After a long period of lesser activity following my head injury (bike accident in Central Park) I can claim to have become more active in recent months.
Three films I’ve created – all for the UN
1 Defying death in South Sudan
You are an unarmed UN civilian in charge of a compound where 12000 people have fled for safety. You are confronted by 80 armed soldiers and a government minister demanding to enter the compound. You know they will almost certainly kill people if they get in. What do you do?
2 Central African Republic: the path out of violence
A small country and an almost forgotten crisis. It’s a nation submerged in violence, hatred and instability. But human rights campaigners are striving to change that dynamic.
Made for UN TV and distributed to broadcasters worldwide. English and French, with English subtitles.
A bankrupt city needs revenues, so it attempts to force people to pay water bills by shutting off supplies. Is that the best way forward? The UN gets involved after local groups appeal to the world body for help over the shut-offs.
