Director of Photography: Sean O'Sullivan
Malawi's strategic grain reserve is sold by the state to private speculators just ahead of a bad harvest. The consequences are fearsome. An object lesson in all that is wrong with foreign aid in Africa.
February 2003. Across six countries in southern Africa, nearly 20 million people suffer on the brink of severe famine. Malawi is the second most seriously affected country, following closely on the heels of Zimbabwe: 6 millions Malawians have nothing to eat, and 3.6 million survive by complete dependence on massive food aid distributed by the World Food Program of the United Nations.

The Empire's New Clothes
Director of Photography: Sean O'Sullivan
Russia has long been a source of fascination and frustration for the outside world. It is big, relentless and thoroughly modern. Yet it can also be remarkably intimate, patient and stubbornly traditional. The Russia of the 21st century is very different from the Russia of history books. Russia is no longer the Soviet Union and it has long since ceased to be Europe’s parochial cousin from the East.
Russia today is dynamic, proud, and demands to be understood by the West. The Empire’s New Clothes showcases the new Russia, a land driven by forceful memories of the past, passionate people and an unmistakable vision for the future.
The Empire clearly has new clothes and it is ready for it’s new place on the world stage whether we’re ready or not.
Shot in various locations in the Russian Federation.
