Video

I have contributed to video and multimedia documentaries as a producer, writer, shooter, editor, and story consultant. Below are select clips, with the roles I played in each project.

Human rights

Police in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and San Francisco are confiscating condoms from sex workers and transgender women, undermining health department campaigns to reduce HIV. Human Rights Watch reports from Jackson Heights, Queens.

Human Rights Watch

Co-production, interviews, and sound recording for street footage

http://www.hrw.org/news/2011/11/09/mexico-widespread-rights-abuses-war-drugs Through in-depth research in five states, Human Rights Watch documented scores of cases of disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture carried out by security forces. Virtually none of these cases is being adequately investigated-not in the military or civilian justice systems. Nor is the government investigating most of the 45,000-plus homicides allegedly tied to organized crime.
