I am trained in Political Sciences, Geography and Intercultural Communication and have been working in social movements for more than 10 years, mainly with focus on socio-environmental conflicts and processes of displacement, migration and multicultural society. In documentaries and media I am an enthusiastic autodidact. During a 1,5 years work stay in Peru with a local human rights NGO I researched, shot and directed my first documentary about social conflicts between indigenous communities and a Swiss copper mining project. The video is now used by the Peruvian NGO as well as by a German NGO network for educational purposes. As freelancing researcher, translator and production assistant I recently started to work with Kigali Films Cologne on productions in Peru and Colombia.
