Navajo women struggle to preserve traditions as climate change intensifies. The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American tribe in the U.S. and spans three states, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. This region is facing heat waves and severe drought due to climate change, and many residents already live without electricity and running water, making the situation even more harsh. Yasmin Mulbocus is a former member and recruiter for a radical Islamic group in the UK. She now prevents young Muslim women from joining extremist networks such as ISIS. Singer Vieux Farka Touré of Mali visits PRI's The World in Boston, and performs a solo rendition of a song off his latest album. In Nepal, the centuries-old tradition of choosing a young girl as a goddess continues to this day. She is worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists who believe she is a reincarnated goddess. In the Philippines, the government rolls out a new reproductive health law nationwide, making birth control free to all who need it. This short film focuses on the struggles facing women who have no access to necessary family planning services.

About Sonia
I'm a Los Angeles-based video journalist who produces, shoots, and edits stories for BBC News, PRI's The World, The New York Times, TIME, PBS, and others. My video stories have taken me around the world, and I've worked extensively across Asia. I've produced and filmed video stories about camel traders in India, cat cafes in Japan, and a child goddess in Nepal. I previously worked as a video journalist for NBC News in New York City. It was there that I found my quirkiest, and most fun video story ever: a circus sideshow school in Coney Island (I learned fire-breathing isn't as hard as it looks!) I studied journalism and documentary filmmaking at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
