Island of Hope is a poignant documentary directed by our upcoming talent Daniel Herter. This film marks Daniel’s debut and delves into the lives of people with albinism in Tanzania (Ukerewe Island), shedding light on their struggles and hopes. Through his empathetic lens, Daniel captures the unique challenges faced by this community, offering a powerful narrative of resilience and aspiration.

With his ability to bring intimate, human-centered stories to life, Daniel is set to take on a key role in our project as co-director, overseeing the documentary’s segment films. He will be responsible for directing crucial investigative stories, including the water mafia crisis in Delhi, where entire communities are held hostage by illegal tanker cartels, and water-related gender violence in Sub-Saharan Africa, where women and girls risk harassment and assault simply to collect water. His experience in capturing deeply personal yet globally relevant stories makes him the ideal director to bring these pressing issues into sharp focus.

Daniel’s work will ensure that each segment stands as a compelling, self-contained narrative while seamlessly integrating into the overarching documentary, creating a visually cohesive and emotionally impactful film.
