I’m a documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist who, for the past ten years, has documented humanitarian crises and investigated some of the world’s most urgent human rights issues. My documentary films and investigations instigated criminal investigations, generated impact campaigns and have been screened on television and at festivals around the world.

For ARTE, the German-French public broadcaster, I have filmed ‘Libya, No Escape from Hell‘, a 60-minutes documentary nominated for the highest French journalism award, on the entire detention system and the role of the militias, and Women on the frontline, a documentary on Women’s stories from the frontline of Sudan’s revolution. In 2023, I directed for ARTE The Battle for the Nile, a 60-minute documentary filmed mainly in Ethiopia and Egypt. The film depicts the war for control of the world’s second-longest river, gathering testimonies from a border region torn by armed conflicts where violence and massacres have scarred local communities.

My recent investigative work includes ‘Death on the Border‘, a data-driven documentary produced and filmed for the BBC’s Africa Eye on the deaths at the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Melilla and ‘The Ship That Stopped 7,000 Migrants, and Smuggled 700,000 Cigarettes‘, an investigation for The New York Times, on the Italian navy in Libya.

I have reported extensively on migration to Europe and the impact of border policies on human rights across continents. In my investigation, I combine on the ground reporting with open-source tools. Recent investigative projects include ‘Inside Egypt’s secret scheme to detain and deport thousands of Sudanese refugees‘, ‘Europe’s Black Sites‘, ‘Shot for Seeking Asylum‘ and ‘Detained below deck’.
