"I’ve been making films & taking pictures about human rights issues in areas of conflict since 1992; working in Bosnia, Iraq, and many other locations."
"My film about Honour Killing in Pakistan for BBC2 brought a change in the law and was awarded a Royal Television Society award for Best International Journalism. I first travelled to DRC in October 2001. I found a ‘virus’ of rape, virtually unreported. I’ve returned as frequently as I can to bear witness. My feature length documentary film Seeds of Hope, tells the story of extraordinary Masika Katsuva, a survivor of multiple rapes."
"Through my films and images I try to give a voice to those who frequently go unheard but who show us the power of resilience and the human spirit at its best, having endured the worst. I research, read, dig deep, delve, do more research until I’ve found an issue that needs to be told. I then find an outlet for that story. Then I go there, I spend time with people, I sit with them, sometimes I may peel cassava, or plant seeds of simple watch but most of all listen. When it’s right I take the picture, capture the image, record the sound. Then I come back, I listen edit, hone and bring a story together that I hope does justice to the people who have entrusted their life changing experiences with me."
