Ismail Matar is a Palestinian refugee and an artist — and the streets of Gaza City are his canvas.

Born and raised in the Khan Younis refugee camp, Ismail has lived his entire life in a war zone — but he strives to bring hope and joy to his community through his artwork.

In May 2021, the Israeli military carried out 11 days of airstrikes in Gaza, killing at least 260 Palestinians, 66 of whom were children. The attacks also destroyed countless homes and buildings, and much of Ismail’s street art became rubble.

For Ismail, rebuilding Gaza City, his home, means painting new images of hope and humanity in Palestine. Today, he helps children use art to channel their feelings and process their grief and trauma so that they can build a brighter future for themselves.

“We have dreams and ambitions,” he said. “We want to live with dignity.”

Avant le début de la COP26 à Glasgow dimanche 31 octobre, focus sur un désastre environnemental : les décharges sauvages. Selon l'association WWF, en France, au moins 80 000 tonnes de déchets sont déposés illégalement dans la nature chaque année. Ces décharges sauvages nuisent à la biodiversité et participent au réchauffement climatique par l'émission de gaz à effet de serre. Le collectif "La Brigade écologiste" lutte pour retrouver les pollueurs, passibles de 75 000 euros d'amende et deux ans de prison.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 400 #dolphins have been found dead on the beaches of #France's west coast. This disturbing phenomenon is due to accidental catches by non-selective fishing gear. About 200,000 dolphins live in the Bay of Biscay, but rights groups fear the species will be driven to the brink of extinction. The European Commission already put France on notice in 2020 for its ineffectiveness in saving dolphins, an animal essential to the ecosystem and one that's strictly protected under European and French law. The government has now implemented an action plan. But will it be effective? FRANCE 24's Jade Lévin report.

I am a bilingual French English journalist who grew up in the Alps. I studied International Journalism at Cardiff University, where I graduated with a distinction.

My main area of interest lies in geopolitics and human rights. I  investigated the effects of religious nationalism in Armenia, questioning democratic processes and the roles played by the church in society and politics.

I have shot and edited stories on refugees from Calais to Cardiff, but also covered cultural topics from sneaker trends to the art of graffiti. 

Former BMX-race athlete, I am a sport-addicted which led me to cover women and girls in sport and other punchy stories including on the business of Mixed Martial Arts. 

By nature, I am curious and adventurous, I like to observe new cultures and to learn from people. Having travelled in many countries, I have a multicultural and open-minded perspective of the world: I understand four languages. For me, journalism is a field of exploration and encounters. I like to listen, to feel, to perceive, to shoot pictures and to transcribe the experience by sharing these impressions through reporting.

I am currently working for France24  for the French and the English channels. My reports have been published by InsideOver, Voice Of America, and Worldcrunch.  I also used to work for several magazines and newspaper in France including L’Équipe, Courrier International and Le Dauphiné Libéré. I also used to be a reporter for the Paris-based Institute Open Diplomacy.

As a young woman, I want to prove to my generation why journalism matters. I am convinced that understanding our environment requires a thorough study of the world. I believe journalism is a means of involvement and engagement. I want to share with society my passion for international news, and to convince others of its importance.
Determination, tenacity and optimism drive my everyday life!

Hello

My name is Zaheer Cassim. I run a multimedia production house called One Way Up Productions, based in Johannesburg, South Africa, 

After graduating from Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism with a Master's in Digital Media, I worked for several international news organisations before settling back home in South Africa.

Over the years, the company has evolved into a team of cinematographers, editors and visual effects artist and our work is predominantly corporate, however we have created documentaries for local non-profits and have freelanced several multimedia news stories published on the New York Times websites and SBS Dateline Australia. 

We have done work for corporate videos for international brands such as Apple, Liverpool, KPMG, Ernst and Young, to name a few and understand the demands of delivering high quality work in a short duration of time. 

My team are ready to go. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Zaheer C.

I'm a freelance filmmaker and video journalist focused primarily on documentary projects. I'm currently picking up short-term gigs as a Freelance Producer, Editor, or Videographer while I work on a part-time commissioned short documentary based out of Nebraska.

I most recently finished working on a project with production company Meerkat Media on a commission from Sesame Street in Communities. The project entails documentary-style educational videos about how to talk to kids about race and racism through observing real families in conversation with their children.

Prior to delving into full-time freelance life, I worked as an Associate Producer on seven feature-length historic documentaries produced by CNN Specials as well as an observational film produced by HBO Max/CNN Films.

Independently, with my production partner Sana A. Malik, I produced, shot, and edited the student BAFTA-award winning documentary, Guanajuato Norte. The film follows a migrant farmworker in Connecticut and his sacrifice of being away from his family to provide a better life for his children. The film went on to screen multiple film festivals and was acquired by The New Yorker’s Documentary Channel.

I also co-directed the short film, Chief Standing Bear's Journey to Statuary Hall, for the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs with Judi gaiashkibos (co-director and EP.) Together, we made a film to be used as an educational resource, following the historical story of Ponca Chief Standing Bear and the modern-day journey of building a statue of his likeness to stand in the U.S. Capitol.

In addition to working as a Director/Producer on commissioned short films and personal projects, I love helping established Director’s visions come to life as an Associate Producer, Editor, or Second Camera. I’m easily curious but particularly drawn toward stories about migration, family, social justice, and the meaning of home.
