Starting on Somalia
I was excited to embark on the next stage of a third film together with my friend Mark Brecke. He’s been busy doing the research and gathering a number of elements together for the past couple of years. Until recently, he had been living in Nairobi, using it a his base camp (once again) and made a number of expeditions into Somalia, specifically into Mogadishu, to capture stills and footage to help tell the story. As one might imagine, this was a difficult task with many roadblocks and hazards along the way that saw him in direct danger on more than one occasion.
