Among the Believers - Official Trailer

ATB premiered at Tribeca, played at IDFA, AFI Docs, Vancouver, Sydney and a whole bunch more. We won the CPH:DOX F:ACT Award, Best Feature Doc at Hollywood Film Festival and were nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. In 2017 we were nominated for a New and Documentary Emmy!

On this film I was AE, AP and Post Supervisor, and did about half of the After Effects graphics. I also wrote and edited grant applications, helping the film to secure funding by Sundance Documentary Fund, NYSCA and others. And I designed and maintain the website.

The film follows a radical Islamic cleric in Pakistan who runs a network of seminaries that teach kids an extremist version of their religion. Many of the kids become jihadist fighters and join the Taliban. The characters are sympathetic--including the head cleric--but the reality of this machine that produces militants is pretty brutal.
