Lisa Russell is an Emmy-award winning independent filmmaker whose background in humanitarian and international development work inspired her to produce films about health and well-being within our global society. After completing her Masters of Public Health degree in International Health at Boston University in 1998, Lisa turned her lens on pressing global health topics such as obstetric and traumatic fistula in Niger, Liberia, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; food insecurity and HIV/AIDS in Malawi; and the impact of war and disaster on young people in Liberia, Lebanon, Colombia, Northern Uganda and New Orleans. While some of Lisa's work has been broadcast on public television (including PBS in the United States and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom), most of her films are tied into the advocacy, fundraising or legislative efforts of the United Nations and international agencies. Lisa screens her films around the country at universities, conferences, festivals and congressional briefings and has reached thousands of students, young people and advocates to spark dialogue about U.S. responsibility to global affairs. Residing in Brooklyn, NY, Lisa is co-founder of Governess Films and is a teaching artist for Urban Word NYC, an after-school spoken word and creative writing organization serving young artists, aged 13-19 in New York City.
