Check FAQAbout Saba
Saba Shami is a journalist based in Madrid, Spain. I was graduated from the University of Westminster in London with a Master degree in Economics and Governmental Reform, later I worked at the BBC Media Action there in London, and as a production assistant at a local film production company called Myriad Global Media. Then I moved to Palestine to work as a human rights investigator with the United Nations, where I wrote many articles and published stories about victims of human-right violations by Israeli occupation. In parrelal to that I was involved in short film production training, with Danish Action Aid and Copenhagen Film School, which I then could put in practice and produce or participate in production of short films that highlighted human rights's causes. Later I moved to Spain to learn Spanish and did a practical course of TV presenting and correspondence. I also did a social journalism course, with El Mundo newspaper, which deals with humanitarian and social related issues; like refugees, poverty, gender discrimination, development, etc. I speak Arabic, English, and Spanish fluently. I also master the skill of storytelling and have produced and published several case studies with personal narration. I would like to occupy a post in Journalism, ideally production of short documentaries that deal with humanitarian, social, cultural, or medioambiental issues.

Filmed and edited the video: Saba Shami

Little Breadwinners (2014): Directed and filmed the short video about child labor in a dump yard in a remote area in Hebron, Palestine, where children abandoned their schools to collect metals in the dumpsite and sell them to support their poor families. The film was made and published in cooperation with a local NGO. It managed to raise funds for those children to go back to school and enabled their families to establish small projects to support themselves economically.
