Latin america Investigates
Latin America Investigates was a documentary series that premiered on Al Jazeera English on November 2016. It was produced by Pacha Films and InsightTWI. I was part of a team of journalists and producers who worked on the six episodes, each of them in a different country. The process included months of pitching different stories and journalists, and a seven-week turnaround for each of the documentaries. I was the producer in three of the six episodes: El Salvador, Colombia and Peru.
