Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Traveling to the Middle East to make a movie.
ABOUT ME
I'm 36 years old, currently working as a journalist. I have been traveling throughout Middle East for 13 years now and I am really attached to its people, culture and generosity. In 2011 I published a book about the situation in Gaza, Palestine (for now it is only available in Slovenian language). I also made two short documentaries about the situation in Palestine and Syria and a longer documentary on Kurdistan.
PHILOSOPHY
As I said I'm 36 years old. I don't really have an ultimate philosophy about life. For now I'm just living it. And as a journalist I report on people who are suffering a lot, but the media doesn't show their stories. So I try to show them wherever I can.
