About me:

Lisa Russell is an independent documentary filmmaker whose background in international development work helps draw inspiration for her films about the health and well-being of our global society. Her work has taken her to several African nations including Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa. While some of her work has aired on public television, most of her film work is tied into campaigns with the international community to affect social change through awareness, fundraising and legislative advocacy.
