Somalia: Pirates and Food Crisis
A documentary about the pirates that threaten the delivery of food by World Food Programme - WFP and humanitarian aid to Somalis. Hosted by the last patrol of the Dutch army to escort a WFP food shipment. Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of Somalia's civil war in the early 1990s. Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the WFP have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy. Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments. Ninety percent of the WFP's shipments arrive by sea, and ships have required a military escort.

Trash is Cash
A participatory film documentary about environment and recycling solutions in Nairobi’s slums realized in partnership with Formada, a youth self group from the slum of Dandora - Nairobi. Trash is Cash is an itinerant documentary, made during the director’s eight-month stay inside the slum of Dandora. From the visual reality of shacks and crowded roads, you will get to know the youth who are living there, understand their needs and share the solutions they come up without any outside help. The innovative force connected with the use of the waste as a source of alternative energy will succeed. The positive results are that recycling creates a source of income for a big number of people in a slum where joblessness and surplus trash cause a major part of the problems. In this age when pollution and the deforestation are destroying our planet, from the slum comes a very interesting and innovative lesson (2008)
