Who We Are

Writer / Director / Producer

Independent filmmaker driven by a belief that the most important stories are the ones that challenge us to look honestly at the world — and at our own complicity in its failures. This documentary began as a question that wouldn't go away: how did we let this happen?

The answer, it turns out, requires three parts — because the roots are deep, the present is complex, and the future demands more than despair.
