New work for children's magazine Samsam; malaria and robots

September 08, 2020

For Dutch children’s magazine Samsam, I worked on two videos about malaria and robots. The small vids were recorded in Tanzania’s Dar Es Salaam and Stone Town and are made from a child’s perspective, as they are meant for a young audience in The Netherlands. Rukayya makes sure she doesn’t get stung by mosquitoes, as she doesn’t want to get malaria. And Christine tells me all about her love for robots and drones.

Samsam’s Karin Wesselink edited both videos. For Christine’s story, I also wrote a small piece that was featured in Samsam’s ‘Robots’ edition. The videos can be watched through Samsam’s YouTube account.
