His films with investigative journalist Greg Palast — The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (2016), Vigilantes Inc. (2024), and the forthcoming Long Knife, narrated by Robert De Niro — have reached audiences of more than 200 million. His short film The Purged, narrated by Debra Messing, was released by Entertainment Weekly and seen by five million people in its first week. In 2011 he co-founded Art Not War, a cultural impact agency whose work has earned six Pollie Awards and three Reed Awards. He lives and works in Lisbon and Los Angeles.
