SURVIVORS nominated for Emmy for Outstanding Social Issue Doc

SURVIVORS (Dir. Arthur Pratt and Banker White) tells the story of the 2014 Ebola Crisis that swept through Sierra Leone, as experienced through the eyes of the local heroes and heroines who laid their life on the line to save the lives of so many of their neighbors and countrymen. I was honored to serve as a Producer on this project and am so thrilled that the film has been recognized by NATAS as a contender for the National Emmy for Outstanding Social Issue Doc!

We are all hoping that the project wins, not only because it is a beautiful, moving, and important film, but mainly because if it is awarded an Emmy, that will shine more light on the conversations around global pandemics and how we can all do better the next time a deadly virus like Ebola breaks out somewhere around the globe.
