ME

My training and professional experience have always revolved around three pillars: Art, Film and Journalism. And I always try to find a balance between all of them.

In recent years, I have worked as a documentary filmmaker, content creator and freelance journalist for media outlets around the world (such as La Sexta, CNN or CGTN). At the end of 2015, I left the newsroom to follow the refugee crisis resulting from the war in Syria. From Turkey, to Greece, Hungary, Serbia and Macedonia. And since then I have worked mainly on issues of geopolitics, humanitarian crises or armed conflicts.

In 2017, together with Czech photographer Martin Trabalik, we created the documentary production company ‘Drowned in Venice’. It all started after a 22-year-old Gambian migrant, Pateh Sabally, jumped into the water in the Grand Canal in Venice to commit suicide and no one did anything to save him. We thought that if the only thing we could do to help was to tell stories that no one seemed to care about, we should do it.

For years, Martin and I travelled around the Caucasus region, collecting stories of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Also Kurdistan, Donetsk or Bangladesh reporting on the persecution of the Rohingya Muslim minority by the Burmese Army, portrayed in the documentary City of Refugees, winner of the Manuel Castillo Prize 2018. In 2019 we released Beyond Catalonia, our first documentary series on independence movements in Europe.

That same year, life circumstances led me to take a break and I returned to Spain to join the staff of laSexta Noticias and later laSexta Clave. And in 2022 I made another small turn towards the creation of branded content for companies, while I try to continue telling stories that I think need to be told.

Many different adventures, but in the end, it all comes down to the same thing: a desire to discover stories and share them.
