About
I'm a producer/ editor/ writer who specializes in news/ documentary. I've produced/ written/ edited human rights and environmental short films for the United Nations, and have worked for and with such companies as ABC News, PBS NewsHour, and WNET. I'm currently completing a project about Brazil during the pandemic for PBS NewsHour, for whom I've worked in the past, overseeing a series on local solutions to climate change. I also recently helped produce a project on native/ indigenous issues in Australia and Hawaii; edited a series on theatre and the coronavirus; and have written over a dozen articles for The New York Times. I'm author of the book, The New Censors: Movies and the Culture Wars. I gravitate toward projects on social justice, human rights, the environment, free speech, and culture.
