FEATURED WORK · FRONTLINE REPORTING
Wartime engagements
Two of the highest-risk deployments on file — full crew support inside active conflict.
PRE-WAR
TRT (Türkiye)
Supported a three-person crew (presenter, producer and camera operator) on an investigative documentary examining the recruitment and movement of Sudanese fighters to Libya, including the reported UAE connection to that pipeline. Secured entry visas and media accreditation for the full team, arranged travel and filming permissions, and managed all government and national-security liaison alongside complete risk management and contingency planning. A dedicated coordinator — a risk-management-experienced security team leader — was embedded with the crew throughout.
WARTIME
RAI (Italy)
Enabled a national-broadcaster crew to report from Sudan during active conflict. Facilitated visas through our security partners, secured media and movement permissions, and handled liaison and mediation with the military and the press attaché at the Ministry of Information. Arranged secure transport and logistics and, with dedicated security, facilitated the crew's access to the Khartoum frontlines during live fighting. A dedicated coordinator — a risk-management-experienced security team leader — accompanied the crew on the ground.

FEATURED WORK · STANDBY & PREPARATION
Additional engagements
Not every deployment reaches the ground — crisis-ready standby is as much the service as the shoot itself.
PRE-WAR
ZDF (Germany)
Facilitated entry-visa acquisition for the producer and crew to report from Sudan; the team ultimately did not deploy.
PRE-WAR
National Geographic / The Walt Disney Company
Provided emergency-response standby for a National Geographic producer working with a fixer across high-risk regions of Sudan, holding on-call crisis and extraction capability throughout the assignment.
Why standby matters: In an environment where security conditions can change hour to hour, crisis and extraction capability is held on-call for the full length of an assignment — whether or not a crew ultimately deploys.
