Sexy Beijing:

Lost in Translation

Docs & Non-Fiction (Cultural, How-To)
[ 5:11 - from YouTube ]

This is a great video series, and not just because it's by my my little sister, Anna Sophie. The Atlantic Monthly and the New York Times Magazine thought so too and gave her nice write ups. My sister, in her hipster girl lost in Beijing persona, has done a whole series of pieces where she gives you a window on Chinese culture and life that you won't see anywhere else. It is the kind of reportage that would have never been available without the digital revolution - I honestly think it is some of the most cutting edge use of the web I've seen; its not copying TV, but creating a new form.

River Blindness in Tanzania

Docs & Non-Fiction (Cultural, News)
[ 4:49 - from YouTube ]

This is a piece I shot and produced that aired on the PBS global affairs program World Focus. I spent two weeks in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania visiting villages afflicted with River Blindness, a little-known but terrible disease that affects 40 million people worldwide. What's really interesting is that there is at treatment for it. I think there are some useful lessons to be learned about "changing the world." It is slow and labor intensive, but it does work and it is getting done.
