So proud to share the first short doc I’ve produced and directed for @AJEnglish DigiDocs. It follows a courageous student journalist whose livestream during Bangladesh’s July 2024 uprising captured a moment that shook the country. Give it a watch, if you can!🇧🇩
In July 2024, a wave of student protests swept across Bangladesh, driven by outrage over a government job quota system seen as unjust. But on July 16, chaos erupted at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur. With just a phone, one young student journalist livestreamed the deadly crackdown that led to the police killing of Abu Sayed. He had been a senior student leader and key voice in the Students Against Discrimination movement. What began as an unplanned livestream became a national turning point. That student became a witness, and a victim became a martyr. Watch: youtu.be/yrw4uatgOUM

From New York to Birmingham to Abuja, a group of young Muslim women are redefining what it means to be a skater while discovering sisterhood and empowerment along the way. Skater Uktis is a short documentary that celebrates the power of skateboarding through the eyes of an international, all-women Muslim crew. Watch: youtu.be/FuBMWKWDCAU

Naim and Wadee’a is a documentary short named after the grandparents of the film’s director, Najwa Najjar, who explores life in Jaffa before 1948, presenting a tender portrait of a film disrupted by an ethnic cleansing. Their lives are recounted through the oral testimonies of the couple’s three daughters and other relatives. The moving film weaves together personal memories to depict a couple’s life before the expulsion and the enduring impact of displacement on their family. Full episode: youtu.be/TJOnFdGinK4

I've been working in the creative industries for over 18 years and one thing I did for a big chunk of it was undervalue the importance of taking my credits. For example, I've produced on A LOT of films that I didn't take credit for, I even once signed a piece of paper to say I wouldn't talk about my producing on the project so that someone else got the main credit. I've done the same in editing and development as well. I got money (essentially paid off) that's what I needed at the time, hell I'll always need that BUT we all need to fight for credits. It's what people look at, at the end of the day. No one sees you working 24 hrs a day on something, grinding away, they just see the credits. Then on the other end of the scale there are people taking credits for doing nothing because they know how important they are. I know people already know this and I regret not doing so but fight for your credits. You deserve them and don't let people ride a wave they didn't work for.
