I Am My Own Correspondent
Inspired by the BBC correspondents who share their stories behind the stories they tell, award-winning documentary director Lauren Anders Brown has done the same with her team of correspondents- just herself. Digging through her archives of over 6 years of documentary filmmaking while filming in over 40 countries, she has pulled her own set of untold stories from behind the scenes for this podcast series. Season 2 is sponsored by the charity Global Health Film. Visit globalhealthfilm.org to learn more about their work supporting storytellers for change.
