Portfolio
https://www.dutchnews.nl/category/afghanistan/
I worked as a freelancer with DutchNews, supporting their coverage of Afghanistan. My role involved assisting journalists on the ground as a fixer and translator. I helped ensure accurate and timely reporting by coordinating interviews and logistics.
https://www.welt.de/sonderthemen/tv-dokus/video234740592/WELT-Doku-Unterwegs-im-Land-der-Taliban.html
This WELT documentary, "Unterwegs im Land der Taliban", captures post-takeover Afghanistan through rare on-the-ground reporting. As a fixer, freelancer, and translator, I supported the international crew with local access, logistics, and real-time language assistance. The team documented life under Taliban rule, focusing on women, displaced families, and ex-government workers. We filmed in sensitive, remote areas previously closed to Western journalists. The result is a raw, insightful look into a nation navigating fear, change, and resilience.
