]]>As Hempstead, NY prepared to host the last presidential debate, local people hit hard by the financial crisis tell stories that the debates left out.
This American News Project (ANP) short featured the story of Jocelyn Voltaire, a local Haitian woman whose Iraq veteran son had died the same month her home went into foreclosure. Jocelyn's heart-wrenching victimization by a predatory lender became a major story on Huffington Post and attracted the attention of Code Pink.
A few days later I returned to Hempstead by myself to shoot a follow-up story for ANP focusing on Jocelyn. Leveraging the power of the two videos, Code Pink was able to raise over $20,000 on her behalf, which helped persuade a judge to grant her a reprieve allowing her to stay in her home.

]]>"The brothers provide choice insights on dad’s use of Hurricane Katrina as part of his larger Psyops training program for his sons...This amazing footage provides a strong narrative structure and is amplified craftfully with background alarm noise and ambient panic."]]>

Geoffrey is an intensely outspoken anti-war activist who, like over 1,800 others, was arrested during the Republican National Convention in 2004. His last arrest, in August 2004, was ostensibly for speaking on a bullhorn in Union Square Park without a permit. He's currently on trial in a consolidated case which comprises a laundry list of demonstrably false charges stemming from his anti-war activities. If convicted, Geoffrey could be imprisoned for four years.
Despite the peril he's in, Geoffrey staged a protest right below District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's office calling the NYPD "treasonous" for its campaign of politically tinged arrests.
]]>In this short documentary we meet the Alams, a Bangladeshi family living in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Mohammed Alam, father to two young U.S.-born daughters, is one of 13,000 immigrants facing deportation as a consequence of Special Registration, a post-9/11 policy which targeted nationals of Muslim countries. But the Alams are not just victims. Learn how they fight back as members of South Asian community organization D.R.U.M. (Desis Rising Up and Moving).
Rising Up: The Alams was produced for the non-profit media project Life or Liberty, as part of Third World Newsreel's Call For Change series.
