Thank you @afripopmag (Afripop Magazine) for covering my short narrative Sega film's campaign as one of your "Favourite Things This Week: What's New and What's Next in Global African Culture!" http://afripopmag.com/2015/12/02/our-favourite-things-this-week/

Our campaign is 63% towards its goal. Please consider helping us get to 100%. Any amount helps. In the wake of the sad global discourse on refugees and migrants, we need more stories like this that humanizes displacement. We hope that our film tells the complex backstory that leads so many to make the tough decision to leave their homes on a perilous and uncertain journey to somewhere, nowhere, or the next life.

So proud of this project “Fighting For Displaced People.” I had the privilege of producing alongside Ben Tishler, Christina Tanaka and team for NBC Sports and the University of Notre Dame. I produced/directed the material and interviews we filmed in Kenya at Kakuma Refugee Camp, as well as in Nairobi with Raouf Mazou, UNHCR Representative in Kenya.

"I summon his voice in my mind, and I miss him even more. But that’s the point. This is about continuing the conversation that he started." April is upon us and for those of us that knew Tim and Chris know there is no fools' about it. This is a beautiful tribute to Chris by Todd Heisler. And Chris Hondros’s “Testament” is, as James Estrin writes,"a monumental act of love and dedication by Chris Hondros’s colleagues and friends preserve his legacy."

“Sorry everybody. Language, English, too small. I love you Sundance. I love you everybody. I love you. I love you!” Was so lovely to have Abdi take the stage and so proud that Cutter Hodierne won the Best Directing Award for Fishing Without Nets at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. What a journey for everyone involved and I am honored to be a member of this incredible team. What an evening! Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images North America
