Films
Over the past decade I have made dozens of protest videos from week long convergences to refugee detention centres to some of Australia’s largest protests. In 2015 I directed the award winning documentary For my Friends in Detention. Recently I began producing Green Left Weekly’s Activist Report and started vlogging. Here is a selection of my activist videos.
