Part investigative journalist, part ethnographer filmmaker, I detoured through Camberwell Art School before finding my true calling after a Masters in Periodical Journalism at London College of Communication—chasing stories that would make my mother worry.

Since then, I've built a career documenting those living at the frontiers of existence: remote tribes, desperate migrants, religious zealots, redeemed criminals, drug lords and politicians with questionable moral compasses. What started as a quest to document the plight of the downtrodden evolved into making films that questioned—or even better, pricked—those in power.

My documentaries have appeared on Al Jazeera, Channel 4 UK, and the BBC, while my articles have found homes in Vice, CNN, Dazed & Confused and others. These days, like others, you'll find me adapting to the new age of streamers.

I've been honoured with awards and nominations from the Royal Television Society, Emmy, Platinos, Foreign Press Association, AIB, Rory Peck, Palm Springs, Havana and others.

Today I still focus much of my work in Latin America and sometimes Africa, with a special part of my heart dedicated to representing the urgent crisis facing the Amazon and its peoples—the only group I've met who find my survival skills absolutely ridiculous.
