In 2017, Olivia Lone Bear went missing. Why did it take a volunteer to finally bring her body home, nine months later? The BBC’s Colleen Hagerty looks at how families of missing Native Americans are turning to social media to aid their searches. In November 2018, the Camp Fire swept through Butte County, California, destroying the town of Paradise. Officials estimate it could take a decade to fully rebuild the town – but five months later, the survivors are slowly starting to return. The BBC met up with three families who lost their homes in Paradise to see what life looks now. Video by Colleen Hagerty

Streemfire New York City
- Documentary DP
Thanks to its prominence in pop culture, many of New York City's most astonishing sites are well known by tourists. But what about the sites locals love? From ferrying to Long Island City, Queens and popping open a bottle of champagne with a sword at a local speakeasy to heading to the city's best people (and puppy) watching park, my video would give an authentic look at what makes NYC special.

- News Shooter / Video Journalist
As in many US towns, historic disinvestment in certain areas of Los Angeles have created a 'heat gap' within the city. Poorer neighbourhoods experience higher temperatures due to a lack of tree cover, vegetation and shade. The city and several nonprofits are now trying to close the gap through a variety of urban programmes.
