He has lived in Havana, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Port-au-Prince and Cairo and has reported from Libya, India, Venezuela and Honduras, among other countries.

In 2021, he won a Telly Award for his work as a producer on Al Jazeera's "India's Acid Attack Survivors" and was co-winner of a One World Media Award and a Telly Award for directing The War on Cuba for Belly of the Beast. In 2014, he won a Gracie Award for Fists of Fury, a short film about a 15-year-old girl in Kolkata, India, striving to be a champion boxer. He was one of the first journalists to enter Libya after the uprising, and co-directed an hour-long film entitled Benghazi Rising that was nominated for a Rory Peck Award as best documentary in 2011. He reported on the Egyptian rebellion from beginning to end, and was co-winner of an Emmy for sound recording for the HBO documentary In Tahrir Square. From 2004 until 2009, he was based in Port-au-Prince, reporting on the struggles of the Haitian people.
