FILM - DOCUMENTARY
A Library in the Jungle
A Library in the Jungle
- Is a story of human endeavour, a gripping expose of life in one of the worst refugee camps in the world. Through the voices of the refugees who lived there, a British teacher who set up a library in the middle of the camp, and volunteers and leading figures in the refugee crisis.
We ask what it means to be a refugee and the bigger question of migration globally within the current crisis we face today.
The film is a feature documentary and looks at the way people worked together to combat daily
life in one of the worst refugee camps in the world. Following a mix of personal story, bigger picture viewpoints and a mix of compelling interview and dramatic world events, the films narrative aims to give a sympathetic viewpoint to the current crisis and hopes to change perception in its audience on one of the biggest questions of our time - Migration.
I directed, produced, filmed and edited this feature documentary.

21 MILES
21 MILES
I was Associate Producer and 2nd Camera on this feature documentary backed by Coldplay with a UK Theatrical release in 2019.
21 Miles Film - This is the story of one man’s battle to get to his son, the longing for a dream and its juxtaposition with the misery of the migrant situation. It tells of the human costs of political failings, rising nationalism, immigrant phobia and the sheer scale of people seeking a better life elsewhere.
Coldplay’s Dave Holmes and Phil Harvey said:
"21 MILES is a moving and important film. Through the heart-breaking story of a Tunisian man trying to reach his son in the UK, the documentary shines a light on the everyday struggles of migrants and refugees desperate to escape impossible situations."
