I had the privilege of working with Andrew Berends on his film Madina’s Dream in 2014/2015. Andy was one of the bravest people I’ve ever met. His stories of being under fire in Iraq and detained in Nigeria while working on docs were beyond crazy – but for him, it was just part of his work. He was so dedicated to telling stories of people who were struggling to survive in conflict zones, and bringing a camera into the most dangerous places on earth to show the human cost of war.
