I traveled to Egypt, which had just experienced the so-called Arab Spring. For a few months, the Muslim Brotherhood was in power. I traveled throughout much of the country to document the persecution and discrimination suffered by the Copts, the Christians of Egypt. I had the opportunity to interview Islamic authorities. The country’s secret services assigned me an “escort” who did not make my work any easier.

I arrived in Beirut a few hours after the jihadist attacks that had shaken Paris. The war in Syria had caused an avalanche of refugees. ISIS had taken over part of northern Iraq. I collected testimonies from refugees suffering from Islamist persecution.

For many Westerners, India is just an exotic country, the country of yoga. I traveled to the great subcontinent to document the terrible discrimination of the caste system that particularly affects Christians. I wanted to go into the mountains of the state of Orissa to collect the stories of Christian victims of a great massacre caused by Hindutva, the radical Hindu movement encouraged by the government of Narendra Modi.

ISIS took control of Mosul in northern Iraq. It expelled all the inhabitants of the Nineveh Plains. I traveled to the area to visit the destroyed and vandalized Christian villages. I worked during those days while US troops, the Iraqi army, and various militias fought against ISIS.

I traveled to northern Nigeria to report on the effects of Boko Haram’s Islamist terrorism and Islamism.

I traveled from south to north, from Damascus to Aleppo, Syria, while the country was at war to report on the effects of the conflict through the lives of several women. Bombs were still falling in Aleppo.

I traveled to China on a tourist visa to document the lives of Christians under the communist regime. The authorities soon realized that I was not a tourist, detained me several times, and on one occasion confined me. They followed me wherever I went.

I wanted to travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories to document how the Christian minority lived. After some adventures, I had the opportunity to enter the Gaza Strip. The streets, houses, and hospitals that appear in this documentary no longer exist.

Pakistan has a blasphemy law that has led to many extrajudicial executions and much suffering. I had to leave the country early because I wanted to film an Islamic school.

Documentary series dedicated to Mikel Azurmendi, Jesús Carrasco, and José Ángel González Saiz. The Rimini Meeting commissioned me to conduct a series of interviews with the three Spanish writers.

Goya Award nominee. After I had already shot nine films for the documentary series dedicated to persecuted Christians, I wanted to make a summary and submit it to the Goyas.

The documentary about Nicaragua is the only one I haven’t been able to shoot on location. I spent a few minutes in Nicaragua as an illegal immigrant, but I was advised to leave. Thanks to the testimonies of exiles in Costa Rica, Spain, and the United States, I can tell how Daniel Ortega’s repressive system works.

After the war in September 2024, I traveled to Lebanon again to document how Shiites, Sunnis, and Christians live together.
