About
Gordon Durnin has been involved in professional television production in Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada and the United States since 1987. Working as a self-employed freelancer and an employee of Al Jazeera English (for almost 9 years), Mr. Durnin has helped produce thousands of news, feature and documentary pieces for major networks worldwide.
Highly developed technical skills in all aspects of ENG and Documentary production, together with fluency in Spanish, Portuguese and English and an intimate understanding of the history, geography and politics of the Americas make Mr. Durnin ideally suited to work in the field. A witness to the effects of war, the drug trade, poverty and natural disasters as well as the more recent rise of the political left in Latin America during the Bush and Obama Presidencies, Mr. Durnin remains one of the few journalists whose experience transcends post-Cold War “Globalisation” and whose knowledge of the roots and dimensions of current affairs provides deeper context and perspective in his reporting. Now based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mr. Durnin continues to travel extensively throughout the Americas.
