A German crew investigated in Ukraine and in Bulgaria how the tissue banks work and how these banks satisfy the international needs.
The Australian rock star and activist John Butler was searching for his heritage hoping to find poets, musicians and revolutionaries. In “Who Do You Think You Are?” he followed his Bulgarian ancestry to the mountain town of Koprivshtitsa and to an ancestor caught up in a violent revolt, central to the birth of a nation. I researched his Bulgarian roots 200 years back and asssited the crew during the shoot of that episode in Bulgaria.

Interviews with convicted criminals in Bulgaria were part of Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting (OCCRP) Project. The videos are an extension of the Jail Crunch visualization and provide a personal window into how crime works in the region. In this case the interviewee is Jock Palfreeman, an Australian national that Bulgarian courts convicted to 20 years in prison on grounds of murder with hooligan intent and attempted murder. Having in his version of events stepped in to defend a Roma against a group of Neo-Nazis, Jock lays out the political reasons behind his prosecution.
