Director/ Co-Producer Maureen Marovitch
Maureen has always been drawn to making documentaries that help shed light on little known or understood communities and the amazing people within them. She started with her pioneering award-winning 1994 documentary “Longshots” which put cameras into the hands of street youth. Film festival favourite “When Two Won’t Do” delved into the world of polyamorists while “The Invisible Red Thread” looked at international adoption via Canadian and Chinese families. Her recent credits include the APTN documentary series “Watchers of the North” and “Arm Nation”. You can read more about her here.
