In close collaboration and interaction with Kenyan organisations and creative minds, I witness and film human transformation processes of the leadership performance through the eyes of the people involved. By giving direct attention to sensitive and urgent matters, which are difficult to approach, I open up unexplored areas, to support social and political change. In times of conflict transitions such concepts want to reflect on the past and give hope & relief for the future. I see freedom of speech, expression and creativity, based on collaboration, as a balancing and constructive act.” Kenya Productions --2003-2006/A Pilot documentary ‘The Executive: The making of the Kenyan Constitution’ about the debates on sharing of power, resources, during the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) at Bomas I, II and III.
