DETOURS SERIES: BBC WORLD SERVICE + SUNDANCE INSTITUTE

Brown Planet Productions collaborated with BBC World Service and Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute to document the story of Imran Mohammad, a Rohingya refugee, who was detained indefinitely on Manus Island.

Brown Planet Productions produced a short film to accompany the “Detours 4: Imran is stateless” podcast episode. The story centers around Imran Mohammad, who fled violence in Myanmar, only to be detained in Papua New Guinea. Brown Planet Production’s founder, Carlos Javier Ortiz, documented the podcast interview and shadowed producer/interviewer Elyse Blennerhassett in documenting Imran’s story.
